Luke 8:15-17

Amplified Bible

¹⁵ But as for that seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word with a good and noble heart, and hold on to it tightly, and bear fruit with patience.

Parable of the Lamp

¹⁶ “Now no one lights a lamp and then covers it with a container [to hide it], or puts it under a bed; instead, he puts it on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see the light.^{(A) 17} For there is nothing hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come out into the open.
