Meaning

Conceal (1):

kon-sel' (parakalupto): Found but once in the New Testament (Lu 9:45). The primary meaning is to cover by hanging something in front of the object hidden. The purpose of the one concealing is made prominent. There is, therefore, a reserve and studied progress in regard to the statement of facts, that is not always a suppression of truth (Pro 12:16, Pro 12:23). God withholds more than He reveals (Pr 25:2; compare Psa 97:2, 1Ti 6:16).
