“... Each of these sayings is further found in the Coptic Gos. Thom. § 33, 5-6, 41, and the second is partly preserved in the earlier Greek recension of it (OxyP 654:29-31, 38-40 [see ESBNT, 381-387]). The first saying about not concealing a lamp just lighted (8:16) is not identical with Mark 4:21 or with Luke 11:33, but in the present form it has been clearly influenced by the latter. Gos. Thom. § 33b reads: “For no one lights a lamp and puts it under a bushel-measure; nor does one put it in a hidden place. Rather, one sets it on a lampstand so that everyone who comes in and goes out sees its light.” This Coptic version (§ 33b) has been joined to another saying about preaching from the housetops by a catchword bond, maaje, which in the first saying (§ 33a) means “ear,” but in the second means “bushel-measure.” Since this is possible only in Coptic, it is obvious that the joining of the two sayings is not original; unfortunately, no counterpart of it is found in the Greek recension. Otherwise the Coptic saying about the lamp is clearly dependent on Luke, and even more on 11:33 than on 8:16. [...] so that those who come in can see the light. This clause is not found in P75 or B (two important ms. copies of Luke), but most [...] critical editions of the Greek NT include it. Has it been introduced because of Luke [...] The Matthean parallel to that verse does not have it either. ...”
