You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.
All Commentaries on Matthew 5:14 Go To Matthew 5
Bede
AD 735
In Loc. quoad sens.: Or, Christ Himself has lighted this lamp, when He filled the earthen vessel of human nature with the fire of His Divinity, which He would not either hide from them that believe, nor put under a bushel that is shut up under the measure of the Law, or confine within the limits of any one oration. The lampstand is the Church, on which He set the lamp, when He affixed to our foreheads the faith of His incarnation.
