Parable of the Lamp
Jesus uses a torch to explain how his followers should live. No one covers the light or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it in a place where people will see the light when they come in. He goes on to say that whatever is kept a secret will be brought into the open. And anything that's covered up will be found and brought into the light.

No one lights a lamp and covers it with a bowl,
or puts it under a bed.
Instead he puts it on the stand,
so that the people may see the light as they come in.
Whatever is hidden away will be brought out in the open...
And whatever is covered up will be found and brought to light.
Be careful then how you listen,
because whoever has will be given more,
but he who has not will have taken away from him even the little he thinks he has.
Teacher,
your mother and brothers are standing outside.
They want to see You.
My mother and brothers are those who hear the Word of God,
and obey it.
