Commentary

Therefore--to bring this discourse to a close. whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them--see Jam 1:22, which seems a plain allusion to these words; also Luk 11:28; Rom 2:13; Jo1 3:7. I will liken him unto a wise man--a shrewd, prudent, provident man. which built his house upon a rock--the rock of true discipleship, or genuine subjection to Christ.
