King James Version w/ Apocrypha KJVA
New International Version NIV
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down , and cast into the fire.
19
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
20
Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
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 which 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, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful 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 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a 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 it fell not: for it was founded upon a 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 sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which 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 beat upon that house; and it fell : and great was the fall of it.
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 ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
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 the scribes.
29
because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
