22 Many will say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have we not cast out devils? and in thy name done many miracles? 23 And then will I profess unto them, that I never knew you: depart from me, ye workers of iniquity. 24 Every man therefore who is hearing from me these words, and puts them in practice, I will compare him to the intelligent man, who erected his house upon a rock: 25 and the rain descended, and the rivers rushed, and the winds blew, and they beat against that house, and it fell not; for it was founded on a rock. 26 And every man who is hearing these sayings of mine, and doth not practise them, he will resemble the foolish man, who built his house upon the sand: 27 and the rain descended, and the rivers rushed, and the winds blew, and set against that house, and it fell; and the fall of it was great. 28 And it was so, that when Jesus had concluded all these sayings, the multitudes were exceedingly struck with his teaching: 29 for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
