So do not be afraid of them. For there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.
The apostles doubted that the gospel could prevail when so few believed and so many opposed it. Christ answers that what now lies hidden in dark corners will be revealed; His doctrine will rise above all hindrances and become known throughout the earth. He calls them to preach it boldly, not shrinking because the gospel is presently despised.
AI summary
Christ sends you as sheep into wolves' jaws, so you must learn to combine the serpent's cunning with the dove's innocence. He forewarned the disciples of sufferings to come, not to shake their faith, but to steel it; when troubles arrive as He predicted, they will confirm rather than destroy what you believe.

Commenting on Matthew 10:16-42
What Christ told them in private, in darkness, they must speak openly in light without reserve or obscurity. He communicated the mysteries of the kingdom to them so they would proclaim it fully and plainly to all people, in synagogues, temples, streets, wherever there is a crowd. Hide nothing; speak it out clearly.
