Luke 8:16 No man, when he has lighted a candle, covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed; but sets it on a candlestick… — It is somewhat remarkable, and worthy of being remembered, of the late Dr. Charles Hodge, that the closing sentence of an unfinished autobiography — perhaps the last words which he wrote — speaking of a purpose which he formed to hold up a godly companion whom he greatly loved to his students as an example, he wrote "I wanted to show them how much good could be done by simply being good." Parallel Verses KJV: No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. |
