Luke 6:47

47 I will show you what everyone is like who comes to me and hears my words and obeys.

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 Good people bring good things out of the good they stored in their hearts. But evil people bring evil things out of the evil they stored in their hearts. People speak the things that are in their hearts.

46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' but do not do what I say?

47 I will show you what everyone is like who comes to me and hears my words and obeys.

48 That person is like a man building a house who dug deep and laid the foundation on rock. When the floods came, the water tried to wash the house away, but it could not shake it, because the house was built well.

49 But the one who hears my words and does not obey is like a man who built his house on the ground without a foundation. When the floods came, the house quickly fell and was completely destroyed."
