Mark 4:21-25 - The Parable Of The Lamp
21 He asked them: Is the lamp placed under a bushel, or under a bed, and not on the stand? 22 There is nothing hidden unless it should be made known. Nothing is made secret that should come to light. 23 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear. 24 Then he said: Be careful what you listen to. That which is portioned out by you might be portioned to you and more. 25 He who has, to him it will be given. He who has not, from him will be taken even that which he has.
16 No one lights a lamp and puts a cover over it or hides it under a bed. Instead he places it on a stand that everyone entering may see the light. 17 Nothing is hidden that will not be revealed. Nothing is secret that will not be made known and come to light. 18 Pay attention and hear! Whoever has will be given more. Whoever does not have, more will be taken away, and even what he thinks he has will be taken.
21 He was fully assured that what he had promised, he was able to perform. 22 It was counted to him as righteousness. 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was counted to him. 24 It is also for our sake, to whom it shall be counted, who believe in him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification (acquittal).
