Two foundations
46 "Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord’, and not do what I say?This is presumably one of the questions that will be on the Final Test. 47 Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them—I will show you who he is like: 48 he is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on the bedrock. When a flood occurred, the torrent burst upon that house but could not shake it, because it was founded on the bedrock.Perhaps 1.5% of the Greek manuscripts, of objectively inferior quality, read "because it was built well", instead of "because it was founded on the bedrock" (as in NIV, NASB, LB, TEV, etc.). If the bedrock refers to the Lord Jesus and His teaching, then this alteration is bad. 49 But he who heard and did nothingNotice the change in tense: ‘hears and does’ changes to ‘heard and did nothing’. The second person heard the Truth, but rejected it, and so is without excuse. is like a man who built his house on the ground without a foundation, against which the torrent burst, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great."
