Showing the Light
8:16“No one lights54 a lamp55 and then covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand so that those who come in can see the light.56
Footnotes
- 54 The participle ἅψας (hapsas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
- 55 This is probably an ancient oil burning lamp or perhaps a candlestick. Jesus is comparing revelation to light, particularly the revelation of his ministry; see 1:78–79.
- 56 Or “its light,” if the Greek article is translated as a possessive pronoun (for such usage, cf. ).
