<P> The parable of the lamp under a bushel, (also known as the lamp under a bowl), is one of the parables of Jesus . It appears in Matthew 5: 14--15, Mark 4: 21--25 and Luke 8: 16--18 . In Matthew, the parable is a continuation of the discourse on salt and light . </P> <P> "And no man, when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but putteth it on a stand, that they that enter in may see the light . For nothing is hid, that shall not be made manifest; nor (anything) secret, that shall not be known and come to light . Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he thinketh he hath ." </P>
