Luke 8:16-21 (Gospel, St. Anna)
- 16
- No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the light.
- 17
- For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.
- 18
- Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him.”
- 19
- Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and could not approach Him because of the crowd.
- 20
- And it was told Him by some, who said, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see You.”
- 21
- But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
