En niemand, die een kaars ontsteekt, zet die in het verborgen, noch onder een koornmaat, maar op een kandelaar, opdat degenen, die inkomen, het licht zien mogen.
Wat betekent dit?
This verse is from Jesus teaching about light and how it should shine brightly. He says that when you have a candle, you don't hide it but put it where everyone can see the light.
Uitgelegd voor kinderen
Imagine you have a flashlight in your room at night. You wouldn’t hide it under your pillow or the blanket, right? Instead, you’d use it to light up the whole room so everyone can see clearly. That's what Jesus is saying about how good things should be shared and seen by all.
Historische achtergrond
This verse comes from the Gospel of Luke, written around 60-90 AD. Luke wrote this for a broader Roman audience, explaining Jewish customs and teachings in terms they could understand.
Toepassing voor vandaag
