Amplified Bible

Luke 8:16-23 Amplified Bible (AMP)

16. No one after he has lighted a lamp covers it with a vessel or puts it under a [dining table] couch; but he puts it on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light.

17. For there is nothing hidden that shall not be disclosed, nor anything secret that shall not be known and come out into the open.

18. Be careful therefore how you listen. For to him who has [spiritual knowledge] will more be given; and from him who does not have [spiritual knowledge], even what he thinks and guesses and supposes that he has will be taken away.

19. Then Jesus' mother and His brothers came along toward Him, but they could not get to Him because of the crowd.

20. And it was told Him, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, desiring to have an interview with You.

21. But He answered them, My mother and My brothers are those who listen to the Word of God and do it!

22. One of those days He and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them, Let us go across to the other side of the lake. So they put out to sea.

23. But as they were sailing, He fell off to sleep. And a whirlwind revolving from below upwards swept down on the lake, and the boat was filling with water, and they were in great danger.
