He said to them, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under the bushel basket, or under the bed, and not on the lampstand?
No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.
“No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar, but on the lampstand so that those who enter may see the light.
“No one after lighting a lamp hides it under a jar, or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.
To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
