SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:22

Porque no hay nada oculto que no haya de ser manifestado, ni secreto que no haya de venir en descubierto.

---

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Mark 4:22

Verse 22. For there is nothing hid, &c.] Probably our Lord means, that all that had hitherto been secret, relative to the salvation of a lost world, or only obscurely pointed out by types and sacrifices, shall now be uncovered and made plain by the everlasting Gospel. See on Matt. v. 15; x. 26.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 22. For there is nothing hid , etc..] In these parables, and figurative expressions used by Christ, which shall not be manifested , sooner or later, to his disciples: neither was any thing kept secret ; any doctrine of the Gospel, or mystery of the kingdom: but that it should come abroad ; it was designed to be published in all Judea, and afterwards, throughout the whole world, for the benefit of God's chosen ones, to their conversion, comfort, and edification: wherefore it becomes the ministers of the Gospel to keep back nothing that may be profitable to the churches, nor shun to declare the whole counsel of God; but faithfully dispense the mysteries of grace, and commend the truth to every man's conscience, without any fear of men, or dreading the effects and consequences of things: since nothing is declared in the word, or made known, but with a design to be published to others, to answer some divine end and purpose; (see Gill on � Matthew 10:26�).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 21-34 - These declarations were intended to call the attention of the disciple to the word of Christ. By his thus instructing them, they were mad able to instruct others; as candles are lighted, not to be covered, but to be placed on a candlestick, that they may give light to a room. Thi parable of the good seed, shows the manner in which the kingdom of God makes progress in the world. Let but the word of Christ have the plac it ought to have in a soul, and it will show itself in a goo conversation. It grows gradually: first the blade; then the ear; afte that the full corn in the ear. When it is sprung up, it will go forward. The work of grace in the soul is, at first, but the day of small things; yet it has mighty products even now, while it is in it growth; but what will there be when it is perfected in heaven!

Vincent's NT Word Studies

22. Which shall not be manifested (ean mh ina fanerwqh). The A.V. makes Christ say that every hidden thing shall be revealed. This is wrong. He says that things are hidden in order that they may be manifested. Concealment is a means to revelation.

26-29. THE PARABLE OF THE SEED GROWING SECRETLY. Peculiar to Mark.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

4:22 {Save that it should be manifested} (ean me hina fanerwqei). Note ean me and hina. #Lu 8:17 has it {that shall not be made manifest} (ho ou faneron genesetai). Here in Mark it is stated that the temporary concealment is for final manifestation and a means to that end. Those who are charged with the secret at this time are given the set responsibility of proclaiming it on the housetops after Ascension (Swete). The hidden (krupton) and the {secret} (apokrufon) are to be revealed in due time.
