Read in context

Matthew 7:25–29 · Berean Standard Bible

25 The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because its foundation was on the rock.

26 But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.

27 The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great was its collapse!”

28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were astonished at His teaching,

29 because He taught as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.
