Matthew / Question
Question source
Matthew
Jesus calls his disciples the "salt of the earth" and warns about salt losing its taste Matthew 5:13. He also calls them the "light of the world" and compares their visibility to a city on a hill and a lamp on a stand Matthew 5:14–15.
13You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, what will it be salted with? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.
14You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill can`t be hid.
15Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a bushel basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.
16Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
