Luke 8:17
26. Fear them not therefore: for nothing is covered that shall not be revealed, and nothing is hid that shall not be known. 27. What I say to you in darkness speak you in light: and what you hear in the ear proclaim on the housetops. 28.

17. For there is nothing hid that shall not be revealed, and nothing concealed that shall not be known and come to light.

But even the hairs on your head are all numbered: fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows.
