[24] “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

[25] The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

[26] But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

[27] The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

[28] When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,

[29] because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
