New International Version (NIV) |
|
23 "And then I will tell them plainly, "`I never knew you: begone from me, you doers of wickedness.'
|
23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
|
|
24 "Every one who hears these my teachings and acts upon them will be found to resemble a wise man who builds his house upon 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 heavy rain falls, the swollen torrents come, and the winds blow and beat against the house; yet it does not fall, for its foundation is on 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 who hears these my teachings and does not act upon them will be found to resemble a fool who builds his house upon 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 The heavy rain descends, the swollen torrents come, and the winds blow and burst upon the house, and it falls; and disastrous is the fall."
|
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 When Jesus had concluded this discourse, the crowds were filled with amazement at His teaching,
|
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,
|
|
29 for He had been teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their Scribes taught.
|
29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
