Matthew 7:21-29

21“1Not everyoneG3956 who saysG3004 to Me, ‘LordG2962, LordG2962,’ will enterG1525 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772, but he who doesG4160 the willG2307 of My FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772 will enter. 222ManyG4183 will sayG3004 to Me on 3that dayG2250, ‘LordG2962, LordG2962, did we not prophesyG4395 in Your nameG3686, and in Your nameG3686 castG1544 out demonsG1140, and in Your nameG3686 performG4160 manyG4183 4miraclesG1411?’ 23And thenG5119 I will declareG3670 to them, ‘I neverG3763 knewG1097 you; 5departG672 from Me, you who practiceG2038 lawlessnessG458.’

24“ThereforeG3767 6everyoneG3956 whoG3748 hearsG191 theseG3778 wordsG3056 of MineG1473 and 7actsG4160 on them, 8may be comparedG3666 to a wiseG5429 manG435 whoG3748 builtG3618 his houseG3614 on the rockG4073. 25And the rainG1028 fellG2597, and the 9floodsG4215 cameG2064, and the windsG417 blewG4154 and slammedG4363 againstG4363 that houseG3614; and yet it did not fallG4098, for it had been foundedG2311 on the rockG4073. 26EveryoneG3956 who hearsG191 theseG3778 wordsG3056 of MineG1473 and does not 10actG4160 on them, will be likeG3666 a foolishG3474 manG435 whoG3748 builtG3618 his houseG3614 on the sandG285. 27The rainG1028 fellG4098, and the 11floodsG4215 cameG2064, and the windsG417 blewG4154 and slammedG4350 againstG4350 that houseG3614; and it fellG4098--and greatG3173 was its fallG4431.”

281213WhenG3753 JesusG2424 had finishedG5055 theseG3778 wordsG3056, 14the crowdsG3793 were amazedG1605 at His teachingG1322; 29for He was teachingG1321 them as one havingG2192 authorityG1849, and not as their scribesG1122.
