Gill's Notes on the Bible
No man when he hath lighted a candle,.... These words are often repeated by Christ on different occasions,
:- and
:- and here seem to design the free, open, and clear ministry of Christ, who excelled Solomon in wisdom, and Jonas in powerful preaching. It being as a candle, which, when lighted, no man
putteth in a secret place; as under a bed, Mark 4:21 where it cannot be seen, and its light be of any use:
neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come may see the light; intimating, that Christ and his disciples did not preach in corners, or in private houses, and secret places, but in the streets of the city, and in the temples and synagogues, the public places of worship: and therefore the Jews were the more inexcusable, that they did not attend to the ministry of the word; and this would be their condemnation, that light was come among them, and they preferred darkness to it, John 3:19.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
These verses are found in Matthew, but in a different connection. See the notes at Matthew 5:15; Matthew 6:22-23.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 33. No man, when he hath lighted, &c.] Matthew 5:15; Matthew 5:15. Our Lord intimates, that if he worked a miracle among such an obstinate people, who were determined to disbelieve every evidence of his Messiahship, he should act as a man who lighted a candle and then covered it with a bushel, which must prevent the accomplishment of the end for which it was lighted. See also Clarke on "Mark 4:21", &c.
