A Lamp on a Stand

²¹He said to them, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand?^(A) ²²For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open.^(B) ²³If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear.”^(C)

²⁴“Consider carefully what you hear,” he continued. “With the measure you use, it will be measured to you—and even more.^(D) ²⁵Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.”^(E)

A Lamp Under a Basket

²¹^(A)And he said to them, ^(B)“Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed, and not on a stand? ²²^(C)For nothing is hidden except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret except to come to light. ²³^(D)If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” ²⁴And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: ^(E)with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you. ²⁵^(F)For to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”
