A Lamp Under a Basket

Mark 4

²¹ _w And he said to them, _x "Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed, and not on a stand? ²² _y For nothing is hidden except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret except to come to light. ²³ _z If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear." ²⁴ And he said to them, "Pay attention to what you hear: _a with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you. ²⁵ _b For to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away."
