Luke 8:16 in Context — Luke 8
14 Ce qui est tombé parmi les épines, ce sont ceux qui, ayant entendu la parole, s’en vont, et la laissentétouffer par les soucis, les richesses et les plaisirs de la vie, et ils ne portent point de fruit qui vienne à maturité.
15 Ce qui est tombé dans la bonne terre, ce sont ceux qui, ayant entendu la parole avec un cœur honnête et bon, la retiennent, et portent du fruit avec persévérance.
16 Personne, après avoir allumé une lampe, ne la couvre d’un vase, ou ne la met sous un lit; mais il la met sur un chandelier, afin que ceux qui entrent voient la lumière.
17 Car il n’est rien de caché qui ne doive être découvert, rien de secret qui ne doive être connu et mis au jour.
18 Prenez donc garde à la manière dont vous écoutez;car on donnera à celui qui a, mais à celui qui n’a pas on ôtera même ce qu’il croit avoir.
