LUKE 11:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.”
Whereas Matthew 5:15 uses the lamp under a bowl teaching to call disciples to visible witness, Luke 11:33 places it in the context of the sign controversy, connecting the lamp to the self that either receives or refuses light. The person who enters the house should see light — Jesus' ministry is the lamp on the stand, available to all who enter, and the failure to see is a failure of the eye, not a failure of the lamp.
