Luke 6:47 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 6:47

Whosoever cometh to me
To be a disciple and follower:

and heareth my sayings, and doth them;
(See Gill on Matthew 7:24).

I will show you to whom he is like;
or "to what thing he is like"; so the Syriac and Arabic versions; though what follows seems better to agree with person than thing.

Luke 6:47 In-Context

45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh .

46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say ?

47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:

48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep , and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose , the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

49 But he that heareth , and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently , and immediately it fell ; and the ruin of that house was great.
