24 “Everyone who hears these things I say and obeys them is like a wise man. The wise man built his house on rock.
25 It rained hard and the water rose. The winds blew and hit that house. But the house did not fall, because the house was built on rock.
26 But the person who hears the things I teach and does not obey them is like a foolish man. The foolish man built his house on sand.
27 It rained hard, the water rose, and the winds blew and hit that house. And the house fell with a big crash.”
28 When Jesus finished saying these things, the people were amazed at his teaching.
29 Jesus did not teach like their teachers of the law. He taught like a person who had authority.
