Matthew 7:24-29 ▼

24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and does them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.

25 And the rain descended, and the rivers came, and the winds blew and fell against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.

26 And everyone hearing these words of Mine and not doing them, may be compared to a foolish man who built his house on the sand.

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”

28 Now it happened that when Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were astonished at His teaching;

29 for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.
