Lukas 6:47

47 Everyone coming to me and hearing my divrei Torah and putting them into practice, I will show you to whom he is likened.

Lukas 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.

Lukas 6:47 In-Context

45 The ish tov from the good storehouse of the lev produces tov, and the ish rah out of the evil storehouse produces rah. For from the abundance of the lev the peh (mouth) speaks.

46 And why do you call me Adoni and yet you do not do what I say?

47 Everyone coming to me and hearing my divrei Torah and putting them into practice, I will show you to whom he is likened.

48 He is likened to the man building a bais who dug and went down deep and laid a yesod upon the av sela (bedrock). And a flood having come, the river struck against that bais, and the flood was not strong enough to shake it, because its binnuy was firm.

49 Now the one having heard [Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach’s divrei Torah], and not having put them into practice, is like a man having built a bais (house) upon the ground without a yesod (foundation), which the river struck against, and ofen ort (immediately) the bais collapsed, and gadol (great) was the churban of that bais.
