“But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing… But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face…” Matthew 6:3; 6; 17
As Jesus came down from the mountain with Peter, James, John and approached the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and scribes arguing with them. Mark 9:14
“For there is nothing hidden except to be made visible; nothing is secret except to come to light.” Mark 4:22
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him. He began to teach them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5: 1–3
Jesus said, “What is the Kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it? It is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in the garden.
