The Parables of JESUS
The Candle Under a Bushel 
(Lamp on a Stand)

Matthew 5: 14-17 / Mark 4: 21-26 / Luke 8: 16-19

****

Matthew 5: 14-17

5:14 Ye are the light of the world. 
A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; 
and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, 
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: 
I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Mark 4: 21-26

4:21 And he said unto them, 
Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? 
and not to be set on a candlestick? 

4:22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; 
neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

4:23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

4:24 And he said unto them, 
Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: 
and unto you that hear shall more be given.

4:25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: 
and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

4:26 And he said, 
So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 

Luke 8: 16-19

8:16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; 
but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

8:17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; 
neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

8:18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; 
and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

8:19 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
