22
1On that day 2many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not 3prophesy in your name, and cast out demons 4in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?'
23
5And then will I declare to them, 'I 6never knew you; 7depart from me, 8you workers of lawlessness.'
Build Your House on the Rock
249"Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like 10a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.
26
And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like 11a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
27
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it."
The Authority of Jesus
28 And when Jesus finished these sayings, 12the crowds were astonished at his teaching,
29
13for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.
