Luke 12:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

Jesus tells the people to be careful how they live

12 While all this was happening, many thousands of people had come together near that place. The crowd was so big that people were almost walking over each other. Jesus began to talk first to his disciples. He said, ‘Be careful! Do not accept the yeast of the Pharisees.^[a] Do not be hypocrites like they are.

² Some people hide the things that they do. But there will be a time when other people will see those things clearly. Everyone will know all their secrets. ³ You may have said things secretly, in the dark of the night. But one day, people will hear those things in the light of day. You may have said things quietly into someone's ear, behind a door that you have shut. But one day, people will shout out those secrets loudly from the tops of the houses.
