Luke 11:33-38 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

33. “No one who lights a lamp hides it away or places it [under a bushel basket], but on a lampstand so that those who enter might see the light.

34. The lamp of the body is your eye. When your eye is sound, then your whole body is filled with light, but when it is bad, then your body is in darkness.

35. Take care, then, that the light in you not become darkness.

36. If your whole body is full of light, and no part of it is in darkness, then it will be as full of light as a lamp illuminating you with its brightness.”

37. After he had spoken, a Pharisee invited him to dine at his home. He entered and reclined at table to eat.

38. The Pharisee was amazed to see that he did not observe the prescribed washing before the meal.
