'Lamp' in the Bible
People do not light a lamp and put it under a basket but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.
"The eye is the lamp of the body. If then your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light.
He also said to them, "A lamp isn't brought to be put under a basket or under a bed, is it? Isn't it to be placed on a lampstand?
"No one lights a lamp and then covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand so that those who come in can see the light.
"No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a hidden place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see the light.
Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is diseased, your body is full of darkness.
If then your whole body is full of light, with no part in the dark, it will be as full of light as when the light of a lamp shines on you."
"Or what woman, if she has ten silver coins and loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search thoroughly until she finds it?
He was a lamp that was burning and shining, and you wanted to rejoice greatly for a short time in his light.
Even the light from a lamp will never shine in you again! The voices of the bridegroom and his bride will never be heard in you again. For your merchants were the tycoons of the world, because all the nations were deceived by your magic spells!
The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God lights it up, and its lamp is the Lamb.
Night will be no more, and they will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will shine on them, and they will reign forever and ever.
