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

²¹ And he said to them, Does a light come to be put under a modius [1.916 gallon measure], or under a bed? and not to be put in a candlestick? ²² For there is nothing hid that shall not be made manifest, nor any thing concealed that shall not come to light. ²³ If any one has ears to hear, let him hear. ²⁴ And he said to them, Consider what you hear. With what measure you measure it shall be measured to you, and more shall be given you. ²⁵ For whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, from him even what he has shall be taken away.

¹⁶ But no one lights a candle and covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed; but he puts it in a candlestick, that those coming in may see the light. ¹⁷ For there is nothing hid which shall not be manifest, nor concealed which shall not be known and come to light. ¹⁸ See therefore how you hear; for whoever has, to him shall be given, and whoever has not, from him shall be taken away even what he seems to have.

²¹ being fully persuaded that what he had promised he was able to perform. ²² Wherefore also it was accounted to him for righteousness. ²³ But it was not written for his sake alone, that it was accounted to him, ²⁴ but also for our sakes, to whom it is about to be accounted if we believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, ²⁵ who was delivered up for our sins and raised for our justification.
