He said to them, “Is a candle brought to be put under a basket or under a bed and not to be set on a candlestick?
Neither do men light a candle and put it under a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the house.
“No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light.
“No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the light.
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to everyone for the common good.
