Gospel

Luke 6.46-7.1

Read in context

6:46And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

6:47Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:

6:48He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

6:49But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

7:1Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
