¹⁵ Nor do they ^(A)light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. ¹⁶ Let your light so shine before men, ^(B)that they may see your good works and ^(C)glorify your Father in heaven.

Light Under a Basket^(A)

^21 (B)Also He said to them, “Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not to be set on a lampstand? ^22 (C)For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light. ^23 (D)If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

²⁴ Then He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. ^(E)With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given. ^25 (F)For whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

The Parable of the Revealed Light^(A)

^16 (B)“No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the ^(C)light. ^17 (D)For nothing is secret that will not be ^(E)revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. ¹⁸ Therefore take heed how you hear. ^(F)For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he ^[a]seems to ^(G)have will be taken from him.”
