Matthew 7:24-8:4 (Gospel)
- 24
 - Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:
 - 25
 - and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
 - 26
 - But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:
 - 27
 - and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”
 - 28
 - And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching,
 - 29
 - for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
 - 1
 - When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him.
 - 2
 - And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
 - 3
 - Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
 - 4
 - And Jesus said to him, “See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
