24. Every one therefore which heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, which built his house upon 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 the rock.
26. And every one that heareth these words 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 smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof.
28. And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching:
29. for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.
