Abban az időben így szólt Jézus tanítványaihoz: Senki sem gyújt világot, hogy eltakarja vagy a véka alá rejtse. És így tovább.

Homily by St Ambrose, Bishop (of Milan.)
!Bk. vii. Comment, on Luke xi.
In that which goeth before, Christ hath set the Church before the synagogue, and He exhorteth us rather to trust in the Church. The candle is faith, even as it is written thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. (Ps. cxviii. 105.) Our faith is the word of God. The word of God is light. Faith is the candle. It is written concerning the Word of God, that That was the true Light, Which lighteth every man that cometh into this world. (John i. 9.) But a candle cannot shine, unless it be lighted from some other fire.
