* "
Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine ,
and does them ,
I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock :
*
and the rain descended ,
the floods came ,
and the winds blew and beat on that house ;
and it did not fall ,
for it was founded on the rock .
* "
But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine ,
and does not do them ,
will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand :
*
and the rain descended ,
the floods came ,
and the winds blew and beat on that house ;
and it fell .
And great was its fall ."
*
And so it was ,
when Jesus had ended these sayings ,
that the people were astonished at His teaching ,
*
for He taught them as one having authority ,
and not as the scribes .
