Mark 4:21-25

Good News Translation

A Lamp under a Bowl^(A)

^21 (B)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? ^22 (C)Whatever is hidden away will be brought out into the open, and whatever is covered up will be uncovered. ²³ Listen, then, if you have ears!”

^24 (D)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. ^25 (E)Those who have something will be given more, and those who have nothing will have taken away from them even the little they have.”
