SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:36
Así que, siendo todo tu cuerpo resplandeciente, no teniendo alguna parte de tinieblas, ser todo luminoso, como cuando una lmpara de resplandor te alumbra.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 11:36
Verse 36. The whole shall be full of light] Or, altogether enlightened; i.e. when the eye is perfect, it enlightens the whole body. Every object within the reach of the eye is as completely seen as if there was an eye in every part. So the eye is to every part of the body what the lamp is to every part of the house. When the light of Christ dwells fully in the heart, it extends its influence to every thought, word, and action; and directs its possessor how he is to act in all places and circumstances. It is of the utmost importance to have the soul properly influenced by the wisdom that comes from above. The doctrine that is contrary to the Gospel may say, Ignorance is the mother of devotion; but Christ shows that there can be no devotion without heavenly light. Ignorance is the mother of superstition; but with this the heavenly light has nothing to do.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 36. If thy whole body therefore be full of light , etc.] That is, if the whole soul, as the Ethiopic version reads, be full of Gospel light, through the illuminating influences of the blessed Spirit accompanying the word: having no part dark ; every power and faculty of the soul being affected with it, and influenced by it, though, as yet, the light and knowledge of evangelical things is not perfect in any: the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light ; the whole soul shall be as full of light and joy, which the Gospel always brings with it, as a room is full of light, when a candle is lighted, and shines brightly, and burns clearly in it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 29-36 - Christ promised that there should be one sign more given, even the sig of Jonah the prophet; which in Matthew is explained, as meaning the resurrection of Christ; and he warned them to improve this sign. But though Christ himself were the constant preacher in any congregation and worked miracles daily among them, yet unless his grace humble their hearts, they would not profit by his word. Let us not desire mor evidence and fuller teaching than the Lord is pleased to afford us. We should pray without ceasing that our hearts and understandings may be opened, that we may profit by the light we enjoy. And especially tak heed that the light which is in us be not darkness; for if our leadin principles be wrong, our judgment and practice must become more so.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
36. The bright shining of a candle (o lucnov th astraph). More correctly, as Rev., the lamp with its bright shining. jAstraph means lightning: see ch. x. 18; and that is the usual meaning in classical Greek, though it occurs, rarely, of the light of a lamp. It is used here to emphasize the idea of moral illumination.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
11:36 {With its bright shining} (tei astrapei). Instrumental case, as if by a flash of lightning the light is revealed in him. See on 10:18.
