Luke 12:4 in context

The verses around it, from Luke 12.

1 In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3 What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.

4 I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.

5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him!

6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

7 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

8 I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.
