A Lamp under a Bowl (MRK 4:21-25)

[4:21] Jesus continued, “Does anyone ever bring in a lamp and put it under a bowl or under the bed? Isn't it put on the lampstand?

[4:22] Whatever is hidden away will be brought out into the open, and whatever is covered up will be uncovered.

[4:23] Listen, then, if you have ears!”

[4:24] He also said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear! The same rules you use to judge others will be used by God to judge you—but with even greater severity.

[4:25] Those who have something will be given more, and those who have nothing will have taken away from them even the little they have.”
