Luke 11:32-34
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
32 Ninevite men will rise-up at the judgment with this generation, and they will condemn it. Because they repented at the proclamation of Jonah, and behold— a greater thing than Jonah is here.
The Lamp Shines So People Can See. Watch Out That Your Eye Can Receive The Light
33 “No one having lit a lamp puts it in a crypt[a], nor under the basket, but on the lampstand, in order that the ones coming in may see the light. 34 The lamp[b] of the body is your eye. When your eye is single[c], your whole body is also full-of-light. But when it is bad, your body is also full-of-darkness.

The Lamp of the Body(B)
33 “No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.(C) 34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy,[a] your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy,[b] your body also is full of darkness.
