Matthew 7:24-29

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:

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.

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:

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.

28 And it came to pass , when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

29 For he taught * them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
