Listen to the Teaching of God

³⁷ Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?”

Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, ^(A)that I should bear ^(B)witness to the truth. Everyone who ^(C)is of the truth ^(D)hears My voice.”

^63 (A)It is the Spirit who gives life; the ^(B)flesh profits nothing. The ^(C)words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

^47 (A)Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: ⁴⁸ He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was ^[a]founded on the rock. ⁴⁹ But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it ^[b]fell. And the ruin of that house was great.”

²⁸ But He said, ^(A)“More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”

³⁵ And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, ^(A)“This is ^[a]My beloved Son. ^(B)Hear Him!”
