Senki pedig, ha gyertyát gyújt, be nem fedi azt valami edénynyel, sem az ágy alá nem rejti; hanem a gyertyatartóba teszi, hogy a kik bemennek, lássák a világot.
17
Mert nincs oly titok, mely nyilvánvalóvá ne lenne; és nincs oly elrejtett [dolog,] mely ki ne tudódnék, és világosságra ne jõne.
18
Meglássátok azért, mimódon hallgatjátok: mert a kinek van, annak adatik; és a kinek nincs, még a mijét gondolja is hogy van, elvétetik tõle.

Light is probably one of the most significant and important symbols in the Bible. Indeed, the very first action in the Bible is God saying, "Let there be light!" (Genesis 1:3)
The teaching of Jesus in Luke 8:16-18 illustrates this obvious point: we do not hide a lamp under a jar after lighting it! We light a lamp to illuminate a place.
The same lesson applies as we learn truth to illuminate our mind and thus follow a proper path. The question that Jesus asks is: "Are you actually living the truth that you have learned and come to understand?"
(References: Exodus 25:31)
