A Lamp under a Bushel Basket

Jesus said to them, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under the bushel basket, or under the bed, and not on the lampstand?

For there is nothing hidden, except to be disclosed;
nor is anything secret, except to come to light.

Let anyone with ears to hear listen!”

And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear;
the measure you give will be the measure you get,
and still more will be given you.

For to those who have, more will be given;
and from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.”
