Mark 4:21-25 - The Parable Of The Lamp

²¹ And he said to them, When the light comes in, do people put it under a vessel, or under the bed, and not on its table? ²² There is nothing covered which will not be seen openly, and nothing has been made secret which will not come to light. ²³ If any man has ears, let him give ear. ²⁴ And he said to them, Take care what you give ear to: in the same measure as you give you will get, and more will be given to you. ²⁵ He who has, to him will be given: and he who has not, from him will be taken even that which he has.

¹⁶ No man, when the light is lighted, puts a cover over it, or puts it under a bed, but he puts it on its table, so that those who come in may see the light. ¹⁷ For nothing is put out of view which will not be made clear, and nothing is secret of which the knowledge will not come to light. ¹⁸ So take care how you give hearing, for to him who has will be given, and from him who has not will be taken even what he seems to have.

²¹ And being certain that God was able to keep his word. ²² For which reason it was put to his account as righteousness. ²³ Now, it was not because of him only that this was said, ²⁴ But for us in addition, to whose account it will be put, if we have faith in him who made Jesus our Lord come back again from the dead, ²⁵ Who was put to death for our evil-doing, and came to life again so that we might have righteousness.
