Gospel and//www.usccb.org/bible/luke/12:1 LK 12:1-7 At that timeandSo many people were crowding togetherthat they were trampling one another underfoot.Jesus began to speak, first to his disciples, Beware of the leaven–that is, the hypocrisy–of the Pharisees. There is nothing concealed that will not be revealed,nor secret that will not be known.Therefore whatever you have said in the darknesswill be heard in the light,and what you have whispered behind closed doorswill be proclaimed on the housetops.I tell you, my friends,do not be afraid of those who kill the bodybut after that can do no more.I shall show you whom to fear.Be afraid of the one who after killinghas the power to cast into Gehennayes, I tell you, be afraid of that one.Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins?Yet not one of them has escaped the notice of God.Even the hairs of your head have all been counted.Do not be afraid.You are worth more than many sparrows.
