Luke 8:16-18
Contemporary English Version
Light
(Mark 4.21-25)
16 (A) No one lights a lamp and puts it under a bowl or under a bed. A lamp is always put on a lampstand, so people who come into a house will see the light. 17 (B) There is nothing hidden that will not be found. There is no secret that will not be well known. 18 (C) Pay attention to how you listen! Everyone who has something will be given more, but people who have nothing will lose what little they think they have.

Luke 8:16-18
New International Version
A Lamp on a Stand
16 “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light.(A) 17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.(B) 18 Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.”(C)
