Luke 8:16 in Context — Luke 8

14 E o que caiu entre espinhos são os que ouviram, e indo, sufocam-se com as preocupações, e riquezas, e prazeres da vida, e não produzem bom fruto.

15 E o que caiu em boa terra, estes são os que, ouvindo a palavra, conservam-na num coração honesto e bom, e dão fruto que permanece.

16 E ninguém, quando acende uma lâmpada, cobre-a com algum vaso, ou a põe debaixo da cama; em vez disso põe na luminária, para que os que entram vejam a luz.

17 Porque não há coisa oculta que não venha a se manifestar; nem coisa escondida que não venha a ser conhecida, e chegada à luz.

18 Portanto, prestai atenção a como ouvis; pois àquele que tiver lhe será dado; e àquele que não tiver, até o que lhe parece ter, dele será tirado.
