On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

All Christians, as they have received the gift, must minister the same. Gifts and graces make a man as a candle; the candle of the Lord ( Prov. xx. 27 ), lighted by the Father of lights; the most eminent are but candles, poor lights, compared with the Sun of righteousness.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

And he said unto them, Is a candle--or "lamp" brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?--"that they which enter in may see the light" (Lu 8:16). See on Mt 5:15, of which this is nearly a repetition.
