Matthew 5:15
Douay-Rheims
Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
Things which it was desirable to conceal, were sometimes placed under a bushel : but it would be absurd to hide a lighted candle in this way, since it is lighted in order to give light to all. Mark iv. 21 ; Luke viii. 16 ; xi. 33.
