Luke 6:47

47 I will show you what someone is like who comes to me, hears my words, and acts on them.

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 The good person out of the good treasure of the heart produces good, and the evil person out of evil treasure produces evil; for it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks.

46 "Why do you call me "Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I tell you?

47 I will show you what someone is like who comes to me, hears my words, and acts on them.

48 That one is like a man building a house, who dug deeply and laid the foundation on rock; when a flood arose, the river burst against that house but could not shake it, because it had been well built.

49 But the one who hears and does not act is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the river burst against it, immediately it fell, and great was the ruin of that house."
