路加福音 6
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
安息日的主
6 有一个安息日，耶稣和门徒走过一片麦田，门徒随手摘下一些麦穗搓了吃。 2 有些法利赛人说：“你们为什么做在安息日不准做的事？”
3 耶稣答道：“你们没有读过大卫的事吗？有一天，大卫和他的部下饿了， 4 他进入上帝的殿，拿了献给上帝的供饼。这饼只有祭司才可以吃，大卫不但自己吃了，还分给他的部下吃。” 5 耶稣又对他们说：“人子是安息日的主。”
6 又有一个安息日，耶稣进入会堂教导人，座中有一个右手萎缩的人。 7 律法教师和法利赛人密切地监视耶稣，看祂会不会在安息日医治病人，好找个借口控告祂。 8 耶稣知道他们的心思，就对那个右手萎缩的人说：“起来，站在大家面前！”那人就起来站在那里。
9 耶稣问众人：“我问你们，在安息日应该行善呢，还是作恶呢？救人呢，还是害人呢？” 10 祂环视众人，然后对那人说：“把手伸出来！”那人的手一伸就复原了。
11 但法利赛人和律法教师却怒火中烧，开始商议对付耶稣的办法。
拣选十二使徒
12 一天，耶稣到山上整夜向上帝祷告。 13 天明时分，祂召集门徒，从中选出十二人立为使徒。 14 他们是：西门——耶稣给他取名叫彼得、西门的兄弟安得烈、雅各、约翰、腓力、巴多罗买、 15 马太、多马、亚勒腓的儿子雅各、激进党人[a]西门、 16 雅各的儿子犹大和出卖耶稣的加略人犹大。
17 耶稣和他们下了山，站在一处平地上，身边有一大群门徒，还有大批从犹太、耶路撒冷以及泰尔和西顿沿海地区来的人，要听祂讲道，盼望祂医治他们的疾病。 18 那些被污鬼缠身的人也得到了祂的医治。 19 大家都想去摸祂，因为有能力从祂身上发出来，可以治好人们的疾病。
论四福
20 耶稣抬头望着门徒，对他们说：
“贫穷的人有福了，
因为上帝的国属于你们！
21 现在饥饿的人有福了，
因为你们将得饱足！
现在哀哭的人有福了，
因为你们将要欢笑！
22 你们为人子的缘故而遭人憎恨、弃绝、侮辱、毁谤，就有福了！ 23 那时你们要欢喜雀跃，因为你们在天上有大赏赐！他们的祖先也曾这样恶待以前的先知。
论四祸
24 “富有的人有祸了，
因为你们已经享尽了人世间的安逸！
25 现在饱足的人有祸了，
因为你们将要挨饿！
现在欢笑的人有祸了，
因为你们将要哀哭！
26 人人都夸赞你们的时候，
你们就有祸了，
因为他们的祖先也是这样夸赞假先知！
论爱仇敌
27 “但是，我告诉你们这些听道的人，要爱你们的仇敌，要善待恨你们的人， 28 要为咒诅你们的人祝福，要替恶待你们的人祷告。 29 如果有人打你一边的脸，连另一边也转过来让他打。如果有人夺你的外衣，连内衣也由他拿去。 30 有人向你求什么，就给他；有人拿了你的东西，不要追讨。 31 你们想要别人怎样对待你们，你们就要怎样对待别人。 32 如果你们只爱那些爱你们的人，有什么功劳呢？就是罪人也会这样做。 33 如果你们只善待那些善待你们的人，有什么功劳呢？就是罪人也会这样做。 34 如果你们借钱给人，指望收回，有什么功劳呢？即使罪人也会借贷给罪人，日后再如数收回。
35 “然而，要爱你们的仇敌，善待他们；无论借出什么，都不要指望归还。这样，你们将有大赏赐，并且将成为至高者的儿子，因为祂以恩慈待那些忘恩负义和作恶的人。 36 你们要怜悯人，像你们的天父怜悯人一样。
责人先责己
37 “不要论断人，免得你们被人论断；不要定人的罪，免得自己也被定罪。要饶恕人，这样你们也必蒙饶恕。 38 你们要给他人，这样上帝必给你们，并且会用大号升斗摇匀压实，满满地倒给你们，因为你们用什么样的量器量给别人，上帝也会用什么样的量器量给你们。”
39 耶稣又给他们讲了个比喻，说：“瞎子岂能给瞎子带路？二人岂不是要双双掉进坑里吗？ 40 学生不会高过老师，学成之后不过像老师一样。 41 为什么你只看见你弟兄眼中的小刺，却看不见自己眼中的大梁呢？ 42 你既看不见自己眼中的大梁，又怎能对弟兄说‘让我除去你眼中的小刺’呢？你这伪君子啊！要先除掉自己眼中的大梁，才能看得清楚，以便清除弟兄眼中的小刺。
树和果子
43 “好树不结坏果子，坏树也结不出好果子。 44 树的好坏从果子就可以分辨出来。人不会从荆棘中采集无花果，也不会在蒺藜上摘取葡萄。 45 善人心存良善，就从他里面发出良善；恶人心存邪恶，就从他里面发出邪恶。因为心里充满的，口里自然会说出来。
两种盖房子的人
46 “你们为什么‘主啊，主啊’地称呼我，却不遵行我的话呢？ 47 我要告诉你们那到我这里来，听了我的话又去遵行的人是什么样。 48 他好比一个人盖房子，把地挖深，根基立在磐石上。当河流泛滥，洪水冲击房子时，房子却屹立不摇，因为它的根基稳固。 49 但听了我的话却不遵行的人，好比一个人没有打根基，便将房子盖在地面上，洪水一冲，房子立刻倒塌，完全毁坏了。”

Luukkaan 6
Raamattu 1933/38
6 Niin tapahtui eräänä sapattina, että hän kulki viljavainioiden halki, ja hänen opetuslapsensa katkoivat tähkäpäitä, hiersivät niitä käsissään ja söivät.
2 Silloin muutamat fariseuksista sanoivat: "Miksi teette, mitä ei ole lupa tehdä sapattina?"
3 Mutta Jeesus vastasi heille ja sanoi: "Ettekö ole lukeneet, mitä Daavid teki, kun hänen ja hänen seuralaistensa oli nälkä,
4 kuinka hän meni Jumalan huoneeseen, otti näkyleivät ja söi ja antoi seuralaisilleenkin, vaikkei niitä ollut lupa syödä muiden kuin ainoastaan pappien?"
5 Ja hän sanoi heille: "Ihmisen Poika on sapatin herra".
6 Ja toisena sapattina hän meni synagoogaan ja opetti; ja siellä oli mies, jonka oikea käsi oli kuivettunut.
7 Ja keksiäkseen jotakin, mistä häntä syyttäisivät, kirjanoppineet ja fariseukset pitivät häntä silmällä, parantaisiko hän sapattina.
8 Mutta hän tiesi heidän ajatuksensa ja sanoi miehelle, jonka käsi oli kuivettunut: "Nouse ja astu esille". Ja hän nousi ja astui esille.
9 Niin Jeesus sanoi heille: "Minä kysyn teiltä: kumpi on luvallista sapattina: hyvääkö tehdä, vai tehdä pahaa, pelastaako henki, vai hukuttaa?"
10 Ja hän katsoi ympärilleen heihin kaikkiin ja sanoi miehelle: "Ojenna kätesi". Mies teki niin, ja hänen kätensä tuli jälleen terveeksi.
11 Mutta he vimmastuivat kovin ja puhelivat keskenään, mitä heidän olisi tehtävä Jeesukselle.
12 Niin tapahtui niinä päivinä, että hän lähti vuorelle rukoilemaan; ja hän oli siellä kaiken yötä rukoillen Jumalaa.
13 Ja päivän tultua hän kutsui tykönsä opetuslapsensa ja valitsi heistä kaksitoista, joille hän myös antoi apostolin nimen:
14 Simonin, jolle hän myös antoi nimen Pietari, ja Andreaan, hänen veljensä, ja Jaakobin ja Johanneksen, ja Filippuksen ja Bartolomeuksen,
15 ja Matteuksen ja Tuomaan, ja Jaakobin, Alfeuksen pojan, ja Simonin, jota kutsuttiin Kiivailijaksi,
16 ja Juudaan, Jaakobin pojan, sekä Juudas Iskariotin, josta tuli kavaltaja.
17 Ja hän astui alas heidän kanssaan ja seisahtui lakealle paikalle; ja siellä oli suuri joukko hänen opetuslapsiaan ja paljon kansaa kaikesta Juudeasta ja Jerusalemista ja Tyyron ja Siidonin rantamaasta. Nämä olivat saapuneet kuulemaan häntä ja parantuakseen taudeistansa.
18 Ja myös ne, jotka olivat saastaisten henkien vaivaamia, tulivat terveiksi.
19 Ja kaikki kansa tahtoi päästä koskettamaan häntä, koska hänestä lähti voima, joka paransi kaikki.
20 Ja hän nosti silmänsä opetuslastensa puoleen ja sanoi: "Autuaita olette te, köyhät, sillä teidän on Jumalan valtakunta.
21 Autuaita te, jotka nyt isoatte, sillä teidät ravitaan! Autuaita te, jotka nyt itkette, sillä te saatte nauraa!
22 Autuaita olette te, kun ihmiset vihaavat teitä ja erottavat teidät yhteydestään ja herjaavat teitä ja pyyhkivät pois teidän nimenne ikäänkuin jonkin pahan - Ihmisen Pojan tähden.
23 Iloitkaa sinä päivänä, riemuun ratketkaa; sillä katso, teidän palkkanne on suuri taivaassa; sillä näin tekivät heidän isänsä profeetoille.
24 Mutta voi teitä, te rikkaat, sillä te olette jo saaneet lohdutuksenne!
25 Voi teitä, jotka nyt olette kylläiset, sillä teidän on oleva nälkä! Voi teitä, jotka nyt nauratte, sillä te saatte murehtia ja itkeä!
26 Voi teitä, kun kaikki ihmiset puhuvat teistä hyvää! Sillä niin tekivät heidän isänsä väärille profeetoille.
27 Mutta teille, jotka kuulette, minä sanon: rakastakaa vihollisianne, tehkää hyvää niille, jotka teitä vihaavat,
28 siunatkaa niitä, jotka teitä kiroavat, rukoilkaa niiden edestä, jotka teitä parjaavat.
29 Jos joku lyö sinua poskelle, tarjoa hänelle toinenkin, ja jos joku ottaa sinulta vaipan, älä häneltä kiellä ihokastasikaan.
30 Anna jokaiselle, joka sinulta anoo, äläkä vaadi takaisin siltä, joka sinun omaasi ottaa.
31 Ja niinkuin te tahdotte ihmisten teille tekevän, niin tehkää tekin heille.
32 Ja jos te rakastatte niitä, jotka teitä rakastavat, mitä kiitosta teille siitä tulee? Rakastavathan syntisetkin niitä, jotka heitä rakastavat.
33 Ja jos teette hyvää niille, jotka teille hyvää tekevät, mitä kiitosta teille siitä tulee? Niinhän syntisetkin tekevät.
34 Ja jos te lainaatte niille, joilta toivotte saavanne takaisin, mitä kiitosta teille siitä tulee? Syntisetkin lainaavat syntisille saadakseen saman verran takaisin.
35 Vaan rakastakaa vihollisianne ja tehkää hyvää ja lainatkaa, toivomatta saavanne mitään takaisin; niin teidän palkkanne on oleva suuri, ja te tulette Korkeimman lapsiksi, sillä hän on hyvä kiittämättömille ja pahoille.
36 Olkaa armahtavaiset, niinkuin teidän Isänne on armahtavainen.
37 Älkääkä tuomiko, niin ei teitäkään tuomita; älkää kadotustuomiota lausuko, niin ei teillekään kadotustuomiota lausuta. Antakaa anteeksi, niin teillekin anteeksi annetaan.
38 Antakaa, niin teille annetaan. Hyvä mitta, sullottu, pudistettu ja kukkurainen, annetaan teidän helmaanne; sillä millä mitalla te mittaatte, sillä mitataan teille takaisin."
39 Hän sanoi heille myös vertauksen: "Eihän sokea voi sokeaa taluttaa? Eivätkö molemmat lankea kuoppaan?
40 Ei ole opetuslapsi opettajaansa parempi; täysin oppineena jokainen on oleva niinkuin hänen opettajansa.
41 Kuinka näet rikan, joka on veljesi silmässä, mutta et huomaa malkaa omassa silmässäsi?
42 Kuinka saatat sanoa veljellesi: 'Veljeni, annas, minä otan pois rikan, joka on silmässäsi', sinä, joka et näe malkaa omassa silmässäsi? Sinä ulkokullattu, ota ensin malka omasta silmästäsi, sitten sinä näet ottaa pois rikan, joka on veljesi silmässä.
43 Sillä ei ole hyvää puuta, joka tekee huonon hedelmän, eikä taas huonoa puuta, joka tekee hyvän hedelmän;
44 sillä jokainen puu tunnetaan hedelmästään. Eihän viikunoita koota orjantappuroista, eikä viinirypäleitä korjata orjanruusupensaasta.
45 Hyvä ihminen tuo sydämensä hyvän runsaudesta esiin hyvää, ja paha tuo pahastansa esiin pahaa; sillä sydämen kyllyydestä suu puhuu.
46 Miksi te huudatte minulle: 'Herra, Herra!' ettekä tee, mitä minä sanon?
47 Jokainen, joka tulee minun tyköni ja kuulee minun sanani ja tekee niiden mukaan - minä osoitan teille, kenen kaltainen hän on.
48 Hän on miehen kaltainen, joka huonetta rakentaessaan kaivoi syvään ja laski perustuksen kalliolle; kun sitten tulva tuli, syöksähti virta sitä huonetta vastaan, mutta ei voinut sitä horjuttaa, sillä se oli hyvästi rakennettu.
49 Mutta joka kuulee eikä tee, se on miehen kaltainen, joka perustusta panematta rakensi huoneensa maan pinnalle; ja virta syöksähti sitä vastaan, ja heti se sortui, ja sen huoneen kukistuminen oli suuri."
Luke 6
King James Version
6 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.
2 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?
3 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him;
4 How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?
5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
6 And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.
7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.
8 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.
9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?
10 And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
11 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.
12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
13 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;
14 Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
15 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,
16 And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.
17 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
18 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.
19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.
20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
39 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
48 He 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.
49 But 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.
Luke 6
New International Reader's Version
Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath Day
6 One Sabbath day Jesus was walking through the grainfields. His disciples began to break off some heads of grain. They rubbed them in their hands and ate them. 2 Some of the Pharisees said, “It is against the Law to do this on the Sabbath day. Why are you doing it?”
3 Jesus answered them, “Haven’t you ever read about what David did? He and his men were hungry. 4 He entered the house of God and took the holy bread. He ate the bread that only priests were allowed to eat. David also gave some to his men.” 5 Then Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath day.”
6 On another Sabbath day, Jesus went into the synagogue and was teaching. A man whose right hand was weak and twisted was there. 7 The Pharisees and the teachers of the law were trying to find fault with Jesus. So they watched him closely. They wanted to see if he would heal on the Sabbath day. 8 But Jesus knew what they were thinking. He spoke to the man who had the weak and twisted hand. “Get up and stand in front of everyone,” he said. So the man got up and stood there.
9 Then Jesus said to them, “What does the Law say we should do on the Sabbath day? Should we do good? Or should we do evil? Should we save life? Or should we destroy it?”
10 He looked around at all of them. Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his hand had been made as good as new. 11 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were very angry. They began to talk to one another about what they might do to Jesus.
Jesus Chooses the Twelve Apostles
12 On one of those days, Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray. He spent the night praying to God. 13 When morning came, he called for his disciples to come to him. He chose 12 of them and made them apostles. Here are their names.
14 Simon, whom Jesus named Peter, and his brother Andrew
James
John
Philip
Bartholomew
15 Matthew
Thomas
James, son of Alphaeus
Simon who was called the Zealot
16 Judas, son of James
and Judas Iscariot who would later hand Jesus over to his enemies
Jesus Gives Blessings and Warnings
17 Jesus went down the mountain with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of his disciples was there. A large number of other people were there too. They came from all over Judea, including Jerusalem. They also came from the coastland around Tyre and Sidon. 18 They had all come to hear Jesus and to be healed of their sicknesses. People who were troubled by evil spirits were made well. 19 Everyone tried to touch Jesus. Power was coming from him and healing them all.
20 Jesus looked at his disciples. He said to them,
“Blessed are you who are needy.
God’s kingdom belongs to you.
21 Blessed are you who are hungry now.
You will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who are sad now.
You will laugh.
22 Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they have nothing to do with you
and say bad things about you,
and when they treat your name as something evil.
They do all this because you are followers of the Son of Man.
23 “The prophets of long ago were treated the same way. When these things happen to you, be glad and jump for joy. You will receive many blessings in heaven.
24 “But how terrible it will be for you who are rich!
You have already had your easy life.
25 How terrible for you who are well fed now!
You will go hungry.
How terrible for you who laugh now!
You will cry and be sad.
26 How terrible for you when everyone says good things about you!
Their people treated the false prophets the same way long ago.
Love Your Enemies
27 “But here is what I tell you who are listening. Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. 28 Bless those who call down curses on you. And pray for those who treat you badly. 29 Suppose someone slaps you on one cheek. Let them slap you on the other cheek as well. Suppose someone takes your coat. Don’t stop them from taking your shirt as well. 30 Give to everyone who asks you. And if anyone takes what belongs to you, don’t ask to get it back. 31 Do to others as you want them to do to you.
32 “Suppose you love those who love you. Should anyone praise you for that? Even sinners love those who love them. 33 And suppose you do good to those who are good to you. Should anyone praise you for that? Even sinners do that. 34 And suppose you lend money to those who can pay you back. Should anyone praise you for that? Even a sinner lends to sinners, expecting them to pay everything back. 35 But love your enemies. Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then you will receive a lot in return. And you will be children of the Most High God. He is kind to people who are evil and are not thankful. 36 So have mercy, just as your Father has mercy.
Be Fair When You Judge Other People
37 “If you do not judge other people, then you will not be judged. If you do not find others guilty, then you will not be found guilty. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good amount will be poured into your lap. It will be pressed down, shaken together, and running over. The same amount you give will be measured out to you.”
39 Jesus also gave them another example. He asked, “Can a blind person lead another blind person? Won’t they both fall into a pit? 40 The student is not better than the teacher. But everyone who is completely trained will be like their teacher.
41 “You look at the bit of sawdust in your friend’s eye. But you pay no attention to the piece of wood in your own eye. 42 How can you say to your friend, ‘Let me take the bit of sawdust out of your eye’? How can you say this while there is a piece of wood in your own eye? You pretender! First take the piece of wood out of your own eye. Then you will be able to see clearly to take the bit of sawdust out of your friend’s eye.
A Tree and Its Fruit
43 “A good tree doesn’t bear bad fruit. And a bad tree doesn’t bear good fruit. 44 You can tell each tree by the kind of fruit it bears. People do not pick figs from thorns. And they don’t pick grapes from bushes. 45 A good man says good things. These come from the good that is stored up in his heart. An evil man says evil things. These come from the evil that is stored up in his heart. A person’s mouth says everything that is in their heart.
The Wise and Foolish Builders
46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and still don’t do what I say? 47 Some people come and listen to me and do what I say. I will show you what they are like. 48 They are like a man who builds a house. He digs down deep and sets it on solid rock. When a flood comes, the river rushes against the house. But the water can’t shake it. The house is well built. 49 But here is what happens when people listen to my words and do not obey them. They are like a man who builds a house on soft ground instead of solid rock. The moment the river rushes against that house, it falls down. It is completely destroyed.”
