The Webster Bible WBT
New International Version NIV
23 And then will I profess to them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
23
Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
24 Therefore whoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house upon a rock:
24
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
25
The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand:
26
But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell, and great was the fall of it.
27
The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
28 And it came to pass when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine.
28
When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,
29 For he taught them as [one] having authority, and not as the scribes.
29
because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
