16. Now no one after lighting a lamp covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a couch, but puts it on a lampstand, so that those who are entering may see the light.

17. For there is nothing hidden that shall not be made manifest, nor any secret that shall not be known and come to light.

18. Therefore, take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him shall be given; but whoever does not have, even what he seems to have shall be taken from him.”

19. Then His mother and His brothers came to Him, but were not able to get to Him because of the multitude.

20. And it was told Him, saying, “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 those who are hearing the Word of God and are doing it.”

22. Now it came to pass on one of those days that He and His disciples went into a ship; and He said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” And they put off from the shore.

23. And as they sailed, He fell asleep; and a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were being filled with water, and were in danger.

24. Then they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm.

25. And He said to them, “Where is your faith?” But they were afraid, and wondered, saying to one another, “Who then is this that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?” (A Faithful Version)

16. 人點燈，是不會用外物去遮光，或放在床底下，是放在燈台，讓人看到一切。

17. 有光沒有可隱藏的，什麼都會顯明。甚至不為人知的秘密，都會被光照出來。

18. 為此，要留心去聽。因為有的，會加給；沒有的，連自以為有的也會被拿掉。

19. 就在這時，耶穌的母親和弟兄來找他，只為人多，無法進去。

20. 有人就來告知：你母親和弟兄站在外邊，要見你。

21. 耶穌回應：聽神的道又願意遵行的，便是我的母親和兄弟。

22. 過了一些日子，某日，耶穌和使徒上船，對他們說：開船出去。他們就開船去了。

23. 船行不久，耶穌正睡。忽然，海上狂風大作，船險些弄沉，危險非常之際。

24. 使徒們趕緊去叫醒他，說：老師，老師，無命啦！耶穌起來，喝止風浪，海面就平靜下來。

25. 耶穌隨即問：你們的信心呢？他們正在害怕當中，彼此對問：他是誰，。吩咐風和水，都聽他的？

路加這處描述耶穌當時展示二種能力，一是智慧之言，另一是真實的能力。

這段說話是耶穌在集會當中，繼種子論之後的發言。是另一個合理的應用，人點燈。

在什麼情況下點燈？是點燈在什麼地方，又誰去點著？

點燈就是為了睇清楚，這燈在那裡？按文理，它是個比喻，燈似乎是指這人心中那點堅持正義的願望，這光的載體是什麼，若是從相信的角度，這光就是人相信之後會有的改變，之前被世俗物事遮了的光重現 (約翰語)。若將之連於落在荊棘裡的種子情況作一個比較，這種子是好而且正當，它有光的作用，只是落在荊棘，就是人心被物質及個人享受的心態影響。這人心生二意，既相信又不願意放棄現世的種種誘惑 (事實二者沒有衝突，它有程序的分別，當中有難也有易，不是不可能) 只是人以為不可改變，就不願放棄，導致這想法，是因為對道不完全了解。這燈的功能就是將事物的現狀和背後成因都能照得清楚。本來是好事，好東西不用去掩飾。看到什麼？是有就有，無就無。

耶穌叫人留心去聽，意思明顯，好的就要堅持，方式自己定，否則會失去，而且失的更多。

隨後的記載，是耶穌渡過加利利海時的遭遇。這記述只有一樣要說明，耶穌的能力。

相信耶穌的人也有，只是能力表達的形式不同，那是因為藉相信耶穌，神就會給人，在風雨飄搖，心不安寧的日子當中，給你一種心境，像在大風浪的日子，像那站在海岸的石頭上那隻鳥一樣，無視風雨，是因為你聽了，又相信，得的就比想像的更多。

路加是想提阿非羅明白，聽得明是重要，能持守更為重要，因得著的比人能想像的有更多的能力和好處。
