21And he was saying to them, “A lamp does not come to be put under a basket or under a bed, does it? Is it not to be put on the lampstand?”

22For nothing is hidden except to be revealed, nor has anything become concealed except to come to light.

23If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.

24And he was saying to them, “Pay attention to what you hear. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and more will be added to you.”

25For whoever has, more will be given to him; and whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
