American Standard Version ASV
New International Version NIV
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.
21
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?
22
Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’
23 And then will I profess unto 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 Every one therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the 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 if fell not: for it was founded upon the 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 words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto 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 smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof.
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 finished these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching:
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 their scribes.
29
because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
