Mark 4:20-22

New Testament for Everyone

²⁰ But the ones sown on good soil are the people who hear the word and receive it, and produce fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixtyfold, some a hundredfold.”

A lamp on its stand

²¹ Jesus said to them, “When you bring a lamp into a room, do you put it under a bucket, or under a bed? Of course not! It goes on a lampstand. ²² No: nothing is secret except what’s meant to be revealed, and nothing is covered up except what’s meant to be uncovered.
