the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned.”

Salt and Light

“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

“The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light,

but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.

For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

The Coming of the Son of Man

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.

For nothing is hidden except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret except to come to light.

The Coming of the Son of Man

“But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,

to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”

a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.”

A Lamp Under a Jar

“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.

For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light.

And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

The Light in You

“No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light.

Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is bad, your body is full of darkness.

Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness.

If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its rays gives you light.”

Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops.
