In context

16 No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.

18 Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”

19 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.

20 He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”
