Luke 8:16-18

English Standard Version

A Lamp Under a Jar

¹⁶^(A)^(B)“No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. ¹⁷^(C)For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light. ¹⁸^(D)Take care then how you hear, ^(E)for to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away.”

International Standard Version

A Light under a Bowl^(A)

¹⁶“No one lights a lamp and hides it under a bowl or puts it under a bed. Instead, he puts it on a lamp stand so that those who come in will see the light. ¹⁷There is nothing hidden that won’t be revealed, and there is nothing secret that won’t become known and come to light. ¹⁸So pay attention to how you listen, because to the one who has something, more will be given. However, from the one who doesn’t have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
