A Lamp Under a Basket

21 He also said to them, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed? Is it not brought in to be set on a lampstand? 22 For there is nothing hidden [fn]that will not be made manifest, nor has anything been made secret, but that it may come to light. 23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24 Then he said to them, “Consider what you hear. With the measure you use it will be measured to [fn]you, and more will be added to you [fn]who hear. 25 For whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
