A Lamp Under a Container

16 [fn]“No one lights a lamp and covers it with a container or puts it under a bed. Instead, it is put on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see its light. 17 For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything hidden away that will [fn]not be made known and come to light. 18 Therefore consider how you hear, for whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
