MAT 1:1
The book of the genealogy of
Jesus Christ, the son of David,
the son of Abraham.
MAT 1:2 To Abraham was
born Isaac; and to Isaac, Jacob;
and to Jacob, Judah and his
brothers;
MAT 1:3 and to Judah were
born Perez and Zerah by Tamar;
and to Perez was born Hezron;
and to Hezron, Ram;
MAT 1:4 and to Ram was
born Amminadab; and to Amminadab,
Nahshon; and to Nahshon, Salmon;
MAT 1:5 and to Salmon was
born Boaz by Rahab; and to Boaz
was born Obed by Ruth; and to
Obed, Jesse;
MAT 1:6 and to Jesse was
born David the king. And to
David was born Solomon by her
who had been the wife of Uriah;
MAT 1:7 and to Solomon
was born Rehoboam; and to
Rehoboam, Abijah; and to Abijah,
Asa;
MAT 1:8 and to Asa was
born Jehoshaphat; and to
Jehoshaphat, Joram; and to Joram,
Uzziah;
MAT 1:9 and to Uzziah was
born Jotham; and to Jotham, Ahaz;
and to Ahaz, Hezekiah;
MAT 1:10 and to Hezekiah
was born Manasseh; and to
Manasseh, Amon; and to Amon,
Josiah;
MAT 1:11 and to Josiah
were born Jeconiah and his
brothers, at the time of the
deportation to Babylon.
MAT 1:12 And after the
deportation to Babylon, to
Jeconiah was born Shealtiel; and
to Shealtiel, Zerubbabel;
MAT 1:13 and to
Zerubbabel was born Abihud; and
to Abihud, Eliakim; and to
Eliakim, Azor;
MAT 1:14 and to Azor was
born Zadok; and to Zadok, Achim;
and to Achim, Eliud;
MAT 1:15 and to Eliud was
born Eleazar; and to Eleazar,
Matthan; and to Matthan, Jacob;
MAT 1:16 and to Jacob was
born Joseph the husband of Mary,
by whom was born Jesus, who is
called Christ.
MAT 1:17 Therefore all
the generations from Abraham to
David are fourteen generations;
and from David to the
deportation to Babylon fourteen
generations; and from the
deportation to Babylon to the
time of Christ fourteen
generations.
MAT 1:18 Now the birth of
Jesus Christ was as follows.
When His mother Mary had been
betrothed to Joseph, before they
came together she was found to
be with child by the Holy
Spirit.
MAT 1:19 And Joseph her
husband, being a righteous man,
and not wanting to disgrace her,
desired to put her away
secretly.
MAT 1:20 But when he had
considered this, behold, an
angel of the Lord appeared to
him in a dream, saying, "Joseph,
son of David, do not be afraid
to take Mary as your wife; for
that which has been conceived in
her is of the Holy Spirit.
MAT 1:21 "And she will
bear a Son; and you shall call
His name Jesus, for it is He who
will save His people from their
sins."
MAT 1:22 Now all this
took place that what was spoken
by the Lord through the prophet
might be fulfilled, saying,
MAT 1:23 "Behold, the
virgin shall be with child, and
shall bear a Son, and they shall
call His name Immanuel," which
translated means, "God with us."
MAT 1:24 And Joseph arose
from his sleep, and did as the
angel of the Lord commanded him,
and took her as his wife,
MAT 1:25 and kept her a
virgin until she gave birth to a
Son; and he called His name
Jesus.

MAT 2:1
Now after Jesus was born in
Bethlehem of Judea in the days
of Herod the king, behold, magi
from the east arrived in
Jerusalem, saying,
MAT 2:2 "Where is He who
has been born King of the Jews?
For we saw His star in the east,
and have come to worship Him."
MAT 2:3 And when Herod
the king heard it, he was
troubled, and all Jerusalem with
him.
MAT 2:4 And gathering
together all the chief priests
and scribes of the people, he
began to inquire of them where
the Christ was to be born.
MAT 2:5 And they said to
him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for
so it has been written by the
prophet,
MAT 2:6 'And you,
Bethlehem, land of Judah, Are by
no means least among the leaders
of Judah; For out of you shall
come forth a Ruler, Who will
shepherd My people Israel.' "
MAT 2:7 Then Herod
secretly called the magi, and
ascertained from them the time
the star appeared.
MAT 2:8 And he sent them
to Bethlehem, and said, "Go and
make careful search for the
Child; and when you have found
Him, report to me, that I too
may come and worship Him."
MAT 2:9 And having heard
the king, they went their way;
and lo, the star, which they had
seen in the east, went on before
them, until it came and stood
over where the Child was.
MAT 2:10 And when they
saw the star, they rejoiced
exceedingly with great joy.
MAT 2:11 And they came
into the house and saw the Child
with Mary His mother; and they
fell down and worshiped Him; and
opening their treasures they
presented to Him gifts of gold
and frankincense and myrrh.
MAT 2:12 And having been
warned by God in a dream not to
return to Herod, they departed
for their own country by another
way.
MAT 2:13 Now when they
had departed, behold, an angel
of the Lord appeared to Joseph
in a dream, saying, "Arise and
take the Child and His mother,
and flee to Egypt, and remain
there until I tell you; for
Herod is going to search for the
Child to destroy Him."
MAT 2:14 And he arose and
took the Child and His mother by
night, and departed for Egypt;
MAT 2:15 and was there
until the death of Herod, that
what was spoken by the Lord
through the prophet might be
fulfilled, saying, "Out of Egypt
did I call My Son."
MAT 2:16 Then when Herod
saw that he had been tricked by
the magi, he became very
enraged, and sent and slew all
the male children who were in
Bethlehem and in all its
environs, from two years old and
under, according to the time
which he had ascertained from
the magi.
MAT 2:17 Then that which
was spoken through Jeremiah the
prophet was fulfilled, saying,
MAT 2:18 "A voice was
heard in Ramah, Weeping and
great mourning, Rachel weeping
for her children; And she
refused to be comforted, Because
they were no more."
MAT 2:19 But when Herod
was dead, behold, an angel of
the Lord appeared in a dream to
Joseph in Egypt, saying,
MAT 2:20 "Arise and take
the Child and His mother, and go
into the land of Israel; for
those who sought the Child's
life are dead."
MAT 2:21 And he arose and
took the Child and His mother,
and came into the land of
Israel.
MAT 2:22 But when he
heard that Archelaus was
reigning over Judea in place of
his father Herod, he was afraid
to go there. And being warned by
God in a dream, he departed for
the regions of Galilee,
MAT 2:23 and came and
resided in a city called
Nazareth, that what was spoken
through the prophets might be
fulfilled, "He shall be called a
Nazarene."

MAT 3:1
Now in those days John the
Baptist came, preaching in the
wilderness of Judea, saying,
MAT 3:2 "Repent, for the
kingdom of heaven is at hand."
MAT 3:3 For this is the
one referred to by Isaiah the
prophet, saying, "The voice of
one crying in the wilderness,
'Make ready the way of the Lord,
Make His paths straight!'"
MAT 3:4 Now John himself
had a garment of camel's hair,
and a leather belt about his
waist; and his food was locusts
and wild honey.
MAT 3:5 Then Jerusalem
was going out to him, and all
Judea, and all the district
around the Jordan;
MAT 3:6 and they were
being baptized by him in the
Jordan River, as they confessed
their sins.
MAT 3:7 But when he saw
many of the Pharisees and
Sadducees coming for baptism, he
said to them, "You brood of
vipers, who warned you to flee
from the wrath to come?
MAT 3:8 "Therefore bring
forth fruit in keeping with
repentance;
MAT 3:9 and do not
suppose that you can say to
yourselves,' We have Abraham for
our father'; for I say to you,
that God is able from these
stones to raise up children to
Abraham.
MAT 3:10 "And the axe is
already laid at the root of the
trees; every tree therefore that
does not bear good fruit is cut
down and thrown into the fire.
MAT 3:11 "As for me, I
baptize you with water for
repentance, but He who is coming
after me is mightier than I, and
I am not fit to remove His
sandals; He will baptize you
with the Holy Spirit and fire.
MAT 3:12 "And His
winnowing fork is in His hand,
and He will thoroughly clear His
threshing floor; and He will
gather His wheat into the barn,
but He will burn up the chaff
with unquenchable fire."
MAT 3:13 Then Jesus
arrived from Galilee at the
Jordan coming to John, to be
baptized by him.
MAT 3:14 But John tried
to prevent Him, saying, "I have
need to be baptized by You, and
do You come to me?"
MAT 3:15 But Jesus
answering said to him,
"Permit it
at this time; for in this way it
is fitting for us to fulfill all
righteousness." Then he
permitted Him.
MAT 3:16 And after being
baptized, Jesus went up
immediately from the water; and
behold, the heavens were opened,
and he saw the Spirit of God
descending as a dove, and coming
upon Him,
MAT 3:17 and behold, a
voice out of the heavens,
saying, "This is My beloved Son,
in whom I am well-pleased."

MAT 4:1
Then Jesus was led up by the
Spirit into the wilderness to be
tempted by the devil.
MAT 4:2 And after He had
fasted forty days and forty
nights, He then became hungry.
MAT 4:3 And the tempter
came and said to Him, "If You
are the Son of God, command that
these stones become bread."
MAT 4:4 But He answered
and said,
"It is written, 'Man shall not
live on bread alone, but on
every word that proceeds out of
the mouth of God.'"
MAT 4:5 Then the devil
took Him into the holy city; and
he had Him stand on the pinnacle
of the temple,
MAT 4:6 and said to Him,
"If You are the Son of God throw
Yourself down; for it is
written, 'He will give His
angels charge concerning You';
and 'On their hands they will
bear You up, Lest You strike
Your foot against a stone.'"
MAT 4:7 Jesus said to
him, "On
the other hand, it is written,
'You shall not put the Lord your
God to the test.'"
MAT 4:8 Again, the devil
took Him to a very high
mountain, and showed Him all the
kingdoms of the world, and their
glory;
MAT 4:9 and he said to
Him, "All these things will I
give You, if You fall down and
worship me."
MAT 4:10 Then Jesus said
to him, "Begone,
Satan! For it is written, 'You
shall worship the Lord your God,
and serve Him only.'"
MAT 4:11 Then the devil
left Him; and behold, angels
came and began to minister to
Him.
MAT 4:12 Now when He
heard that John had been taken
into custody, He withdrew into
Galilee;
MAT 4:13 and leaving
Nazareth, He came and settled in
Capernaum, which is by the sea,
in the region of Zebulun and
Naphtali.
MAT 4:14 This was to
fulfill what was spoken through
Isaiah the prophet, saying,
MAT 4:15 "The land of
Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
By the way of the sea, beyond
the Jordan, Galilee of the
Gentiles - -
MAT 4:16 "The people who
were sitting in darkness saw a
great light, And to those who
were sitting in the land and
shadow of death, Upon them a
light dawned."
MAT 4:17 From that time
Jesus began to preach and say,
"Repent,
for the kingdom of heaven is at
hand."
MAT 4:18 And walking by
the Sea of Galilee, He saw two
brothers, Simon who was called
Peter, and Andrew his brother,
casting a net into the sea; for
they were fishermen.
MAT 4:19 And He said to
them,
"Follow Me, and I will make you
fishers of men."
MAT 4:20 And they
immediately left the nets, and
followed Him.
MAT 4:21 And going on
from there He saw two other
brothers, James the son of
Zebedee, and John his brother,
in the boat with Zebedee their
father, mending their nets; and
He called them.
MAT 4:22 And they
immediately left the boat and
their father, and followed Him.
MAT 4:23 And Jesus was
going about in all Galilee,
teaching in their synagogues,
and proclaiming the gospel of
the kingdom, and healing every
kind of disease and every kind
of sickness among the people.
MAT 4:24 And the news
about Him went out into all
Syria; and they brought to Him
all who were ill, taken with
various diseases and pains,
demoniacs, epileptics,
paralytics; and He healed them.
MAT 4:25 And great
multitudes followed Him from
Galilee and Decapolis and
Jerusalem and Judea and from
beyond the Jordan.

MAT 5:1
And when He saw the multitudes,
He went up on the mountain; and
after He sat down, His disciples
came to Him.
MAT 5:2 And opening His
mouth He began to teach them,
saying,
MAT 5:3
"Blessed
are the poor in spirit, for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
MAT 5:4
"Blessed
are those who mourn, for they
shall be comforted.
MAT 5:5
"Blessed
are the gentle, for they shall
inherit the earth.
MAT 5:6
"Blessed
are those who hunger and thirst
for righteousness, for they
shall be satisfied.
MAT 5:7
"Blessed
are the merciful, for they shall
receive mercy.
MAT 5:8
"Blessed
are the pure in heart, for they
shall see God.
MAT 5:9
"Blessed
are the peacemakers, for they
shall be called sons of God.
MAT 5:10
"Blessed
are those who have been
persecuted for the sake of
righteousness, for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.
MAT 5:11
"Blessed
are you when men cast insults at
you, and persecute you, and say
all kinds of evil against you
falsely, on account of Me.
MAT 5:12
"Rejoice,
and be glad, for your reward in
heaven is great, for so they
persecuted the prophets who were
before you.
MAT 5:13
"You are
the salt of the earth; but if
the salt has become tasteless,
how will it be made salty again?
It is good for nothing anymore,
except to be thrown out and
trampled under foot by men.
MAT 5:14
"You are
the light of the world. A city
set on a hill cannot be hidden.
MAT 5:15
"Nor do
men light a lamp, and put it
under the peck-measure, but on
the lampstand; and it gives
light to all who are in the
house.
MAT 5:16
"Let your
light shine before men in such a
way that they may see your good
works, and glorify your Father
who is in heaven.
MAT 5:17
"Do not
think that I came to abolish the
Law or the Prophets; I did not
come to abolish, but to fulfill.
MAT 5:18
"For truly
I say to you, until heaven and
earth pass away, not the
smallest letter or stroke shall
pass away from the Law, until
all is accomplished.
MAT 5:19
"Whoever
then annuls one of the least of
these commandments, and so
teaches others, shall be called
least in the kingdom of heaven;
but whoever keeps and teaches
them, he shall be called great
in the kingdom of heaven.
MAT 5:20
"For I say
to you, that unless your
righteousness surpasses that of
the scribes and Pharisees, you
shall not enter the kingdom of
heaven.
MAT 5:21
"You have
heard that the ancients were
told, 'You shall not commit
murder' and 'Whoever commits
murder shall be liable to the
court.'
MAT 5:22
"But I say
to you that everyone who is
angry with his brother shall be
guilty before the court; and
whoever shall say to his
brother, 'Raca,' shall be guilty
before the supreme court; and
whoever shall say, 'You fool,'
shall be guilty enough to go
into the fiery hell.
MAT 5:23
"If
therefore you are presenting
your offering at the altar, and
there remember that your brother
has something against you,
MAT 5:24
leave your
offering there before the altar,
and go your way; first be
reconciled to your brother, and
then come and present your
offering.
MAT 5:25
"Make
friends quickly with your
opponent at law while you are
with him on the way, in order
that your opponent may not
deliver you to the judge, and
the judge to the officer, and
you be thrown into prison.
MAT 5:26
"Truly I
say to you, you shall not come
out of there, until you have
paid up the last cent.
MAT 5:27
"You have
heard that it was said, 'You
shall not commit adultery';
MAT 5:28
but I say
to you, that everyone who looks
on a woman to lust for her has
committed adultery with her
already in his heart.
MAT 5:29
"And if
your right eye makes you
stumble, tear it out, and throw
it from you; for it is better
for you that one of the parts of
your body perish, than for your
whole body to be thrown into
hell.
MAT 5:30
"And if
your right hand makes you
stumble, cut it off, and throw
it from you; for it is better
for you that one of the parts of
your body perish, than for your
whole body to go into hell.
MAT 5:31
"And it
was said, 'Whoever sends his
wife away, let him give her a
certificate of divorce';
MAT 5:32
but I say
to you that everyone who
divorces his wife, except for
the cause of unchastity, makes
her commit adultery; and whoever
marries a divorced woman commits
adultery.
MAT 5:33
"Again,
you have heard that the ancients
were told, 'You shall not make
false vows, but shall fulfill
your vows to the Lord.'
MAT 5:34
"But I say
to you, make no oath at all,
either by heaven, for it is the
throne of God,
MAT 5:35
or by the
earth, for it is the footstool
of His feet, or by Jerusalem,
for it is the city of the great
King.
MAT 5:36
"Nor shall
you make an oath by your head,
for you cannot make one hair
#663300 or black.
MAT 5:37
"But let
your statement be, 'Yes, yes' or
'No, no'; and anything beyond
these is of evil.
MAT 5:38
"You have
heard that it was said, 'An eye
for an eye, and a tooth for a
tooth.'
MAT 5:39
"But I say
to you, do not resist him who is
evil; but whoever slaps you on
your right cheek, turn to him
the other also.
MAT 5:40
"And if
anyone wants to sue you, and
take your shirt, let him have
your coat also.
MAT 5:41
"And
whoever shall force you to go
one mile, go with him two.
MAT 5:42
"Give to
him who asks of you, and do not
turn away from him who wants to
borrow from you.
MAT 5:43
"You have
heard that it was said, 'You
shall love your neighbor, and
hate your enemy.'
MAT 5:44
"But I say
to you, love your enemies, and
pray for those who persecute you
MAT 5:45
in order
that you may be sons of your
Father who is in heaven; for He
causes His sun to rise on the
evil and the good, and sends
rain on the righteous and the
unrighteous.
MAT 5:46
"For if
you love those who love you,
what reward have you? Do not
even the tax-gatherers do the
same?
MAT 5:47
"And if
you greet your brothers only,
what do you do more than others?
Do not even the Gentiles do the
same?
MAT 5:48
"Therefore
you are to be perfect, as your
heavenly Father is perfect.

MAT 6:1
"Beware of
practicing your righteousness
before men to be noticed by
them; otherwise you have no
reward with your Father who is
in heaven.
MAT 6:2
"When
therefore you give alms, do not
sound a trumpet before you, as
the hypocrites do in the
synagogues and in the streets,
that they may be honored by men.
Truly I say to you, they have
their reward in full.
MAT 6:3
"But when
you give alms, do not let your
left hand know what your right
hand is doing
MAT 6:4
that your
alms may be in secret; and your
Father who sees in secret will
repay you.
MAT 6:5
"And when
you pray, you are not to be as
the hypocrites; for they love to
stand and pray in the synagogues
and on the street corners, in
order to be seen by men. Truly I
say to you, they have their
reward in full.
MAT 6:6
"But you,
when you pray, go into your
inner room, and when you have
shut your door, pray to your
Father who is in secret, and
your Father who sees in secret
will repay you.
MAT 6:7
"And when
you are praying, do not use
meaningless repetition, as the
Gentiles do, for they suppose
that they will be heard for
their many words.
MAT 6:8
"Therefore
do not be like them; for your
Father knows what you need,
before you ask Him.
MAT 6:9
"Pray,
then, in this way: 'Our Father
who art in heaven, Hallowed be
Thy name.
MAT 6:10
'Thy
kingdom come. Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
MAT 6:11
'Give us
this day our daily bread.
MAT 6:12
'And
forgive us our debts, as we also
have forgiven our debtors.
MAT 6:13
'And do
not lead us into temptation, but
deliver us from evil. For Thine
is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, forever. Amen.'
MAT 6:14
"For if
you forgive men for their
transgressions, your heavenly
Father will also forgive you.
MAT 6:15
"But if
you do not forgive men, then
your Father will not forgive
your transgressions.
MAT 6:16
"And
whenever you fast, do not put on
a gloomy face as the hypocrites
do, for they neglect their
appearance in order to be seen
fasting by men. Truly I say to
you, they have their reward in
full.
MAT 6:17
"But you,
when you fast, anoint your head,
and wash your face
MAT 6:18
so that
you may not be seen fasting by
men, but by your Father who is
in secret; and your Father who
sees in secret will repay you.
MAT 6:19
"Do not
lay up for yourselves treasures
upon earth, where moth and rust
destroy, and where thieves break
in and steal.
MAT 6:20
"But lay
up for yourselves treasures in
heaven, where neither moth nor
rust destroys, and where thieves
do not break in or steal;
MAT 6:21
for where
your treasure is, there will
your heart be also.
MAT 6:22
"The lamp
of the body is the eye; if
therefore your eye is clear,
your whole body will be full of
light.
MAT 6:23
"But if
your eye is bad, your whole body
will be full of darkness. If
therefore the light that is in
you is darkness, how great is
the darkness!
MAT 6:24
"No one
can serve two masters; for
either he will hate the one and
love the other, or he will hold
to one and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and mammon.
MAT 6:25
"For this
reason I say to you, do not be
anxious for your life, as to
what you shall eat, or what you
shall drink; nor for your body,
as to what you shall put on. Is
not life more than food, and the
body than clothing?
MAT 6:26
"Look at
the birds of the air, that they
do not sow, neither do they
reap, nor gather into barns, and
yet your heavenly Father feeds
them. Are you not worth much
more than they?
MAT 6:27
"And which
of you by being anxious can add
a single cubit to his life's
span?
MAT 6:28
"And why
are you anxious about clothing?
Observe how the lilies of the
field grow; they do not toil nor
do they spin,
MAT 6:29
yet I say
to you that even Solomon in all
his glory did not clothe himself
like one of these.
MAT 6:30
"But if
God so arrays the grass of the
field, which is alive today and
tomorrow is thrown into the
furnace, will He not much more
do so for you, O men of little
faith?
MAT 6:31
"Do not be
anxious then, saying, 'What
shall we eat?' or 'What shall we
drink?' or 'With what shall we
clothe ourselves?'
MAT 6:32
"For all
these things the Gentiles
eagerly seek; for your heavenly
Father knows that you need all
these things.
MAT 6:33
"But seek
first His kingdom and His
righteousness; and all these
things shall be added to you.
MAT 6:34
"Therefore
do not be anxious for tomorrow;
for tomorrow will care for
itself. Each day has enough
trouble of its own.

judge lest you be judged.
MAT 7:2
"For in
the way you judge, you will be
judged; and by your standard of
measure, it will be measured to
you.
MAT 7:3
"And why
do you look at the speck that is
in your brother's eye, but do
not notice the log that is in
your own eye?
MAT 7:4
"Or how
can you say to your brother,
'Let me take the speck out of
your eye,' and behold, the log
is in your own eye?
MAT 7:5
"You
hypocrite, first take the log
out of your own eye, and then
you will see clearly to take the
speck out of your brother's eye.
MAT 7:6
"Do not
give what is holy to dogs, and
do not throw your pearls before
swine, lest they trample them
under their feet, and turn and
tear you to pieces.
MAT 7:7
"Ask, and
it shall be given to you; seek,
and you shall find; knock, and
it shall be opened to you.
MAT 7:8
"For
everyone who asks receives, and
he who seeks finds, and to him
who knocks it shall be opened.
MAT 7:9
"Or what
man is there among you, when his
son shall ask him for a loaf,
will give him a stone?
MAT 7:10
"Or if he
shall ask for a fish, he will
not give him a snake, will he?
MAT 7:11
"If you
then, being evil, know how to
give good gifts to your
children, how much more shall
your Father who is in heaven
give what is good to those who
ask Him!
MAT 7:12
"Therefore, however you want
people to treat you, so treat
them, for this is the Law and
the Prophets.
MAT 7:13
"Enter by
the narrow gate; for the gate is
wide, and the way is broad that
leads to destruction, and many
are those who enter by it.
MAT 7:14
"For the
gate is small, and the way is
narrow that leads to life, and
few are those who find it.
MAT 7:15
"Beware of
the false prophets, who come to
you in sheep's clothing, but
inwardly are ravenous wolves.
MAT 7:16
"You will
know them by their fruits.
Grapes are not gathered from
thorn bushes, nor figs from
thistles, are they?
MAT 7:17
"Even so,
every good tree bears good
fruit; but the bad tree bears
bad fruit.
MAT 7:18
"A good
tree cannot produce bad fruit,
nor can a bad tree produce good
fruit.
MAT 7:19
"Every
tree that does not bear good
fruit is cut down and thrown
into the fire.
MAT 7:20
"So then,
you will know them by their
fruits.
MAT 7:21
"Not
everyone who says to Me, 'Lord,
Lord,' will enter the kingdom of
heaven; but he who does the will
of My Father who is in heaven.
MAT 7:22
"Many will
say to Me on that day, 'Lord,
Lord, did we not prophesy in
Your name, and in Your name cast
out demons, and in Your name
perform many miracles?'
MAT 7:23
"And then
I will declare to them, 'I never
knew you; depart from Me, you
who practice lawlessness.'
MAT 7:24
"Therefore
everyone who hears these words
of Mine, and acts upon them, may
be compared to a wise man, who
built his house upon the rock.
MAT 7:25
"And the
rain descended, and the floods
came, and the winds blew, and
burst against that house; and
yet it did not fall, for it had
been founded upon the rock.
MAT 7:26
"And
everyone who hears these words
of Mine, and does not act upon
them, will be like a foolish
man, who built his house upon
the sand.
MAT 7:27
"And the
rain descended, and the floods
came, and the winds blew, and
burst against that house; and it
fell, and great was its fall."
MAT 7:28 The result was
that when Jesus had finished
these words, the multitudes were
amazed at His teaching;
MAT 7:29 for He was
teaching them as one having
authority, and not as their
scribes.

And when He had come down from
the mountain, great multitudes

down to Him, saying, "Lord, if
You are willing, You can make me
