Mark 4:21-25

A Lamp Under a Basket

21 ¹And he said to them, ²"Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed, and not on a stand?

22 ³For nothing is hidden except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret except to come to light.

23 ⁴If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."

24 And he said to them, "Pay attention to what you hear: ⁵with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you.

25 ⁶For to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away."
