The Gospel of Thomas (also known as the Coptic Gospel of Thomas) is extra to the canonical gospels in the New Testament of the bible. It was discovered near Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in December 1945 among a group of books known as the Nag Hammadi library. Scholars speculate that the works were buried and hidden after the declaration of a strict canon of Christian scripture, where any works that were not selected for inclusion in the new testament were ordered to be destroyed. Scholars have proposed dates of composition as early as 60 AD and as late as 250 AD as a collection of sayings of Jesus.

Our Commentary on Verse 033 of Thomas Gospel.

These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down.

Gospel of Thomas Saying 33 - No one hides a lamp.
Jesus said, "Preach from your housetops that which you will hear in your ear. For no one lights a lamp and puts it under a bushel, nor does he put it in a hidden place, but rather he sets it on a lamp stand so that everyone who enters and leaves will see its light."

"Preach from your housetops that which you will hear in your ear”
Jesus wants his followers to pass on to others what they will learn From him. Once divine knowledge is properly heard and understood then the light of its truth can be seen by others. One’s inner being becomes lit forever.
“no one lights a lamp and puts it under a bushel, nor does he put it in a hidden place”
The disciple or follower of the truth seeks divine understanding. Having gained such understanding, having seen the light, as it were, the realised one naturaly moves into that light. This is what the seeker has worked for.
Just as a person who has deliberately lit a candle, he would not then cover it or hide it so it could not be seen. So this realised one would share the light of his knowledge with all.

”he sets it on a lamp stand so that everyone who enters and leaves will see its light."
The light of divine truth is the guiding light for all. The knower of such truth preaches it to all for their guidance.
