Context Readings

The Sermon On The Plain: Two Houses And Two Foundations

47 Every one coming to me, and hearing my words, and doing them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 48 He is like to a man building a house, who digged, and deepened, and set the foundation upon the rock: and there having been an overflow, the river dashed against that house, and was not able to move it: for it was founded upon the rock. 49 And he having heard, and not having done, is like a man having built a house upon the earth, without a foundation; against which the river dashed, and immediately it fell; and the breaking of that house was great.
