Luke 8:16

← Luke 8:15 [words of Jesus]	Luke 8:16 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	Luke 8:17 [words of Jesus] →
But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep [it], and bring forth fruit with patience.	No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth [it] under a bed; but setteth [it] on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.	For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither [any thing] hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
