American Standard Version

Matthew 7:26-29 American Standard Version (ASV)

26. And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand:

27. and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof.

28. And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching:

29. for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.
