UBS Dictionary of the Greek New Testament

verb | καλύπτω

28.81 · Know · Not Able To Be Known, Secret

to keep secret, to hide, to conceal to cause something to remain unknown by means of purposeful concealment

LUK 12:2

1 It is not easy to distinguish clearly between ἀποκρύπτω (28.80) and συγκαλύπτω (28.81), but ἀποκρύπτω, particularly in passive forms, may imply concealment on the basis of the nature of the object itself, while συγκαλύπτω would appear, at least in certain contexts, to imply a greater measure of intent or purpose.
