Summary/Abstract: Th e aim of this article is to demonstrate the transposition of the meaning of the symbol of light/a lit lamp in the pericope Luke 11:33–36. Th e image from the external realm associated with God, His word, is transferred into the inner realm of the human being. Th is transposition is carried out by Jesus. He remains within the biblical context and emphasizes the value of human dignity, freedom, and the purpose to which God calls them. The deepening of the interpretation of the symbol occurs on the narrative level, which is why the study employs structural-semiotic analysis developed by Algirdas Julien Greimas.
