Luke 6:48 in Context — Luke 6

46 E por que me chamais: “Senhor!”, “Senhor!”, e não fazeis o que eu digo?

47 Todo aquele que vem a mim, ouve as minhas palavras, e as pratica, eu vos mostrarei a quem é semelhante:

48 Semelhante é ao homem que construiu uma casa, cavou, abriu bem fundo, e pôs o fundamento sobre a rocha; e quando veio a enchente, a corrente bateu com ímpeto naquela casa, e não a pôde abalar, porque estava fundada sobre a rocha.

49 Mas aquele que ouve e não pratica é semelhante ao homem que construiu uma casa sobre a terra, sem fundamento, na qual a corrente bateu com ímpeto, e logo caiu; e foi grande a queda daquela casa.
