Is it not brought to be put on the lampstand? 22 (B)For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it would come to light. 23 (C)If anyone has ears to hear, [b]let him hear.” 24 And He was saying to them, “Take care what you listen to. [c](D)By your standard of measure it will be measured to you; and more will be given you besides. 25 (E)For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
