Luke 8:16-18

The Word Heard, the Kingdom Revealed, and the Lord’s Authority Displayed

Luke moves from Jesus proclaiming the kingdom with restored women serving Him, to the parable of the soils and the demand for true hearing, then to four authority scenes where Jesus rules the storm, demons, disease, and death.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

16No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

17For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
