Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Luke 6
⁴⁷ 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 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 fell. And the ruin of that house was great."
Luke 7
¹ Now when He concluded all His sayings in the hearing of the people, He entered Capernaum.
² And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die.
³ So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, pleading with Him to come and heal his servant.
⁴ And when they came to Jesus, they begged Him earnestly, saying that the one for whom He should do this was deserving,
⁵ "for he loves our nation, and has built us a synagogue."
⁶ Then Jesus went with them. And when He was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, "Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof.
⁷ Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.
⁸ For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, ’Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ’Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ’Do this,’ and he does it."
