Parable of the Lamp
16 “Now (A)no one lights a lamp and covers it over with a container, or puts it under a bed; but he puts it on a lampstand so that those who come in may see the light. 17 (B)For nothing is concealed that will not become evident, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. 18 So take care how you listen; (C)for whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he [a]thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
19 (D)Now His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd. 20 And it was reported to Him, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see You.” 21 But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these (E)who hear the word of God and do it.”
Jesus Stills the Sea
22 (F)Now on one of those days [b]Jesus and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them, “Let’s cross over to the other side of (G)the lake.” So they launched out. 23 But as they were sailing along He fell asleep; and a fierce gale of wind descended on (H)the lake, and they began to be swamped and to be in danger. 24 They came up to Jesus and woke Him, saying, “(I)Master, Master, we are perishing!” And He got up and (J)rebuked the wind and the surging [c]waves, and they stopped, and [d]it became calm. 25 And He said to them, “Where is your faith?” But they were fearful and amazed, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?”

A Lamp on a Stand
16 “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light.(A) 17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.(B) 18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.”(C)
Jesus’ Mother and Brothers(D)
19 Now Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd. 20 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers(E) are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
21 He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word and put it into practice.”(F)
Jesus Calms the Storm(G)(H)
22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set out. 23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
24 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master,(I) we’re going to drown!”
He got up and rebuked(J) the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm.(K) 25 “Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples.
In fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.”
