Luke 8:16-18

Good News Translation

A Lamp under a Bowl^(A)

^16 (B)“No one lights a lamp and covers it with a bowl or puts it under a bed. Instead, it is put on the lampstand, so that people will see the light as they come in.

^17 (C)“Whatever is hidden away will be brought out into the open, and whatever is covered up will be found and brought to light.

^18 (D)“Be careful, then, how you listen; because those who have something will be given more, but whoever has nothing will have taken away from them even the little they think they have.”
