King James Version (KJV)

Matthew 7:26

“‹And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:›”

Verse in context — Matthew 7

‹Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:›

‹And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.›

‹And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:›

‹And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.›

And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

Jesus as the promised Messiah, fulfilling Old Testament prophecy.
