Luke 6:48 in Context — Luke 6

46 ¿Por qué me llamáis, Señor, Señor, y no hacéis lo que digo?

47 Todo aquel que viene á mí, y oye mis palabras, y las hace, os enseñaré á quién es semejante:

48 Semejante es al hombre que edifica una casa, el cual cavó y ahondó, y puso el fundamento sobre la peña; y cuando vino una avenida, el río dió con ímpetu en aquella casa, mas no la pudo menear: porque estaba fundada sobre la peña.

49 Mas el que oyó y no hizo, semejante es al hombre que edificó su casa sobre tierra, sin fundamento; en la cual el río dió con ímpetu, y luego cayó; y fué grande la ruina de aquella casa.
