Matthew 7:24-8:4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock,

²⁵ And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock.

²⁶ And every one that heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand,

²⁷ And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.

²⁸ And it came to pass when Jesus had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine.

²⁹ For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes and Pharisees.

8 And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him:

² And behold a leper came and adored him, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

³ And Jesus stretching forth his hand, touched him, saying: I will, be thou made clean. And forthwith his leprosy was cleansed.

⁴ And Jesus saith to him: See thou tell no man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded for a testimony unto them.
