Save that it should be manifested (ean mh ina fanerwqh). Note ean mh and ina. Luke 8:17 has it
that shall not be made manifest (o ou faneron genhsetai). Here in Mark it is stated that the temporary concealment is for final manifestation and a means to that end. Those who are charged with the secret at this time are given the set responsibility of proclaiming it on the housetops after Ascension (Swete). The hidden (krupton) and the
secret (apokrufon) are to be revealed in due time.
