No one lights a lamp and covers it with a bowl,
or puts it under a bed.
Instead, he puts it on the stand
so that people may see the light as they come in.
Whatever is hidden away will be brought out in the open.
And whatever is covered up will be found and brought to light.
Be careful then, how you listen.
Because whoever has will be given more.
But he who has not will have taken away from him
even the little he thinks he has.
Teacher, your mother and brothers are standing outside. They want to see you.
My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God,
and obey it.
