Matthew 7:23-29

23 Then I'll tell them, ‘I've never known you. Get away from me, you people who do wrong.'

Two foundations

24 " Everybody who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise builder who built a house on bedrock.
25 The rain fell, the floods came, and the wind blew and beat against that house. It didn't fall because it was firmly set on bedrock.
26 But everybody who hears these words of mine and doesn't put them into practice will be like a fool who built a house on sand.
27 The rain fell, the floods came, and the wind blew and beat against that house. It fell and was completely destroyed."

Crowd’s response

28 When Jesus finished these words, the crowds were amazed at his teaching
29 because he was teaching them like someone with authority and not like their legal experts.
