Saying 33: Proclaim From the Rooftops
What you hear whispered in your ear, announce from the rooftops. No one lights a lamp and hides it under a basket; it goes on a stand where everyone coming and going can see the light.
Commentary
A striking counterweight to the secrecy of the prologue. Thomas holds both: the sayings are hidden, and what you have understood must be broadcast.
