47 Every one who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like:

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 man out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure produces evil; for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

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

47 Every one who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like:

48 he is like a man building a house, who dug deep, and laid the foundation upon rock; and when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it had been well built.

49 But he who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation; against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."
