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.”

The Parable of the Lamp

16 “And no one, after[a] lighting a lamp, covers it with a jar or puts it[b] under a bed, but puts it[c] on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see the light. 17 For nothing is secret that will not become evident, and nothing hidden that will never be known and come to light. 18 Therefore consider how you listen, for whoever has, to him more will be given, and whoever does not have, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away from him.”
