‏ Luke 12:2

v. 2-3: Jesus begins by warning his disciples against hypocrisy, which he calls the "leaven of the Pharisees." Hypocrisy spreads and affects everything, just like leaven in dough. It makes people proud and bitter, and their actions are not pleasing to God. Jesus says nothing hidden will stay secret—everything will be revealed in time. If someone tries to hide their wrong actions under the cover of religion, it will be uncovered, either in this life or on the final day (Ecclesiastes 12:14; Romans 2:16 a).
