Then Jesus said to them, “Do you hide a lamp under a bowl or under a bed? No! You put the lamp on a lampstand.
And people don’t hide a light under a bowl. They put it on a lampstand so the light shines for all the people in the house.
“No one lights a lamp and puts it in a secret place or under a bowl, but on a lampstand so the people who come in can see.
“No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a bowl or hides it under a bed. Instead, the person puts it on a lampstand so those who come in will see the light.
Something from the Spirit can be seen in each person, for the common good.
