Context — The Conclusion of the Sermon on the Mountgenerated
Matthew 7:24 concludes the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus emphasizes the necessity of not only hearing His teachings but also acting upon them. This teaching contrasts those who heed His words with those who ignore them, illustrating the consequences of each choice. The imagery of building a house on a rock versus sand serves as a powerful metaphor for the stability that comes from a life grounded in obedience to God's word.

The Key Word — ὁμοιωθήσεται, homoioōgenerated
The verb ὁμοιωθήσεται, which means 'he will be like', is a future passive form derived from ὁμοιόω. It indicates a comparison or likeness, suggesting that the person who acts on Jesus' words will be similar to someone who builds wisely.
This word highlights the result of one's actions in relation to Jesus' teachings. The passive voice implies that the individual is being made like the wise man, emphasizing the transformative power of obedience.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The primary wording is taken from the Berean Standard Bible, which states, everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Other translations, such as the KJV and ASV, use similar phrasing, maintaining the core message of the verse.
However, the YLT and WEB offer slight variations in wording, with YLT saying who doth hear of me these words and WEB stating who hears these words of mine and does them. These variations do not significantly alter the meaning but reflect different stylistic choices.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause is governed by the finite verb ὁμοιωθήσεται, he will be like, which introduces a comparison. The subject of this verb is ὅστις, whoever, indicating that the statement applies to any person who hears and acts on Jesus' words.
The structure includes several phrases: the noun phrase τοὺς λόγους, these words, serves as the object of the verbs ἀκούει and ποιεῖ, while the prepositional phrase ἐπὶ τὴν πέτραν, on the rock, describes the foundation of the house.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
ὁμοιωθήσεται does not have a direct equivalent in the Septuagint, but the concept of being likened or compared can be seen in various contexts where wisdom and folly are contrasted.
πέτρα corresponds to the Hebrew word צוּר, which means rock or cliff, emphasizing strength and stability, as seen in passages like Psalm 18:2.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Matthew 7:24 tells us that everyone who listens to Jesus' teachings and puts them into action is wise, like a man who builds his house on a strong foundation. This means that following Jesus' words leads to a stable and secure life.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Omnis ergo qui audit verba mea hæc, et facit ea, assimilabitur viro sapienti, qui ædificavit domum suam supra petram,
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

Company kept: which words stand within three words of each of these, anywhere in the Greek New Testament — the thicker the line, the more often the pair meet compared with chance.

Lexicons — every word in Matthew 7:24
One dossier per word, with every reference work grouped by kind — Greek lexicons, morphology, Bible dictionaries, topical chains and the English of the translators themselves. The verse sits at the head of each block with the word under study lit, so you never lose your place. The panel above gives the short answer; this is the long one, and it is the part of the page worth indexing.
Every entry below is the lexicographer's own text. Imported from the CrossWire SWORD modules — Abbott-Smith, the full Liddell-Scott-Jones, Strong's, Dodson, the Intermediate LSJ, Robinson and Packard on the Greek, Webster and Cawdrey on the English the translators were using. Where a cell says a work has no entry, that work genuinely has none for this word.
The Greek word πᾶς (i.e., *pas*) means 'all' or 'every' and appears in various forms, including masculine, feminine, and neuter. It is used in the New Testament to denote totality, as in 'all things' or 'every kind,' and can function as an adjective or pronoun. Notably, it can also imply 'the whole' when used with definite articles, as seen in verses like Matthew 28:18.

The Greek word οὖν (oun) is a particle used to express consequence, sequence, or to resume a narrative. It translates to 'therefore,' 'then,' or 'accordingly,' and appears frequently in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 3:10 and Romans 5:9. It can also serve in exhortations and questions, indicating what follows logically from previous statements.

The Greek word ὅστις (i.e., *hostis*) is a relative pronoun meaning 'whoever' or 'whosoever.' It is used in the New Testament primarily in general statements and relative sentences, often indicating an indefinite person or thing. The word is built from the components for 'who' and 'any.' Notably, there is some distinction in usage between ὅστις and its simpler form ὅς, particularly in the writings of Paul compared to Luke.
ὅστις, ἥτις, ὅ τι (also written ὅ, τι and ὅτι; v. LS, s.v.; WH, § 411; Tdf., Pr., 111), in NT scarcely ever except in nom. (M, Pr., 91), the only instance of the oblique cases being found in ἕως ὅτου (v.s. ἕως), relative of indef. reference (related to simple ὅς as Lat. quisquis to qui),
whoever, anyone who;

The Greek word ἀκούω, transliterated as akouo, means 'to hear' or 'to listen.' It covers a range of meanings from simply hearing sounds to understanding and obeying what is said. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, including commands to listen (e.g., Mk 4:3) and references to understanding (e.g., 1 Cor 14:2). The lexicons do not show significant disagreement.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

λόγος (logos) is a Greek word meaning 'word' or 'speech,' derived from the verb λέγω (lego). It encompasses a range of meanings including a saying, statement, discourse, or even the inward thought itself. In the New Testament, it often refers to the word of God or teachings, appearing in verses like Matthew 8:8 and John 1:1. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement regarding its meanings.
On these words, and on their relation to one another, very much has been written by the Greek grammarians and natural philosophers (see Lersch, Sprachphilosophie der Alten, vol. iii. pp. 85, 45, and passim). Φωνή, from φάω, ds φωτίζουσα τὸ νοούμενον (Plutarch, De Plac. Phil. 19), rendered in our Version ‘ voice’ (Matt. ii. 18), ‘sound’ (John iii. 8), ‘noise’ (Rev. vi. 1), is distinguished from ψόφος, in that it is the cry of a living creature (ἡ δὲ φωνὴ ψόφος τίς ἐστιν ἐμψύχου, Aristotle, De Anima, 2. 8. 14), being sometimes ascribed to God (Matt. ui. 17), to men (Matt. iii. 3), to animals (Rev. ix. 9), and, though improperly, to inanimate objects as well (1 Cor. xiv. 7), as to the trumpet (Matt. xxiv. 31), to the wind (John iii. 8), to the thunder (Rev. vi. 1; οἵ. Ps. lxxvi. 19). But λόγος, a word, saying, or rational utterance of the νοῦς, whether spoken (προφορικός, and thus φωνὴ τῶν…

The Greek word οὗτος (i.e., *houtos*) is a demonstrative pronoun meaning 'this' or 'this one.' It is used to refer to something nearby or recently mentioned, often with a connotation of contempt in certain contexts. In the New Testament, it appears in various forms, such as in Matthew 3:17 and John 1:15, and can also serve to emphasize or clarify a subject.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

ποιέω is a Greek verb meaning 'to make' or 'to do,' with a wide range of applications including creating, producing, or performing actions. It appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts relating to God's creative acts or human actions, such as making sacrifices or preparing feasts. Notably, it can also imply causing something to happen or fulfilling a purpose. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

ἀνήρ (anēr) means 'man' in various contexts, distinguishing adult males from women and children. It can refer to a husband or a male person in general, and is often used in conjunction with other nouns or adjectives. The New Testament employs it similarly, as seen in verses like Matthew 1:16 and 1 Corinthians 13:11. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings.

Man
(1.) Heb. ‘Adam, used as the proper name of the first man. The name is derived from a word meaning “to be red,” and thus the first man was called Adam because he was formed from the red earth. It is also the generic name of the human race (Gen. 1:26, 27; 5:2; 8:21; Deut. 8:3). Its equivalents are the Latin homo and the Greek anthropos (Matt. 5:13, 16). It denotes also man in opposition to woman (Gen. 3:12; Matt. 19:10).
(2.) Heb. ‘ish, like the Latin vir and Greek aner, denotes properly a man in opposition to a woman (1 Sam. 17:33;
Four Hebrew terms are rendered "man" in the Authorized Version: Adam, the name of the man created in the image of God. It appears to be derived from adam , "he or it was red or ruddy," like Edom. This was the generic term for the human race. Ish , "man," as distinguished from woman, husband. Geber , "a man," from gabar , "to be strong," generally with reference to his strength. Methim , "men," always masculine. Perhaps it may be derived from the root muth , "he died."

The Greek word φρόνιμος (phronimos) is derived from φρονέω and means thoughtful, prudent, or sensible. It appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize practical wisdom and discretion, notably in Matthew and Romans. The lexicons note its opposition to terms like μωρός (foolish) and ἄφρων (unwise), indicating a range of meanings from general wisdom to specific prudence.
φρόνιμος, -ον
(< φρονέω),
[in LXX for נָבוֺן, חָכָם etc. ;]
practically wise, sensible, prudent: Mt 10:16 24:45, Lk 12:42, I Co 10:15; opp. to μωρός, Mt 7:24 25:2, 4, 8, 9, I Co 4:10; to ἄφρων, II Co 11:19; φ. παρ’ ἑαυτῷ (EV, wise in one's own conceit), Ro 11:25 12:16 (cf. Pr 3:7); compar., -ώτερος, Lk 16:8.†
SYN.: v.s. σοφός
φρόνιμος, “prudent,” is frequent in the NT as denoting fitness for God’s service (Mt 774, τοῦδ, a/.: Swete Parables of the Kingdom, p. 123): cf OGZS 38316 (mid. 1.8.6.) διαμονῆς δὲ τούτων ἕνεκεν, ἣν ἐμ φρονίμοις ἀνδράσι εὐσεβὲς ἀεὶ τηρεῖν. The word is common as a proper name, e.g. P Oxy III. 531° 2 (ii/a.D.). ;

The Greek word ὅστις (i.e., *hostis*) is a relative pronoun meaning 'whoever' or 'whosoever.' It is used in the New Testament primarily in general statements and relative sentences, often indicating an indefinite person or thing. The word is built from the components for 'who' and 'any.' Notably, there is some distinction in usage between ὅστις and its simpler form ὅς, particularly in the writings of Paul compared to Luke.
ὅστις, ἥτις, ὅ τι (also written ὅ, τι and ὅτι; v. LS, s.v.; WH, § 411; Tdf., Pr., 111), in NT scarcely ever except in nom. (M, Pr., 91), the only instance of the oblique cases being found in ἕως ὅτου (v.s. ἕως), relative of indef. reference (related to simple ὅς as Lat. quisquis to qui),

The Greek word οἰκοδομέω (i.e., *oikodomeō*) means 'to build' and is derived from the noun for 'builder.' It encompasses both literal construction, such as building houses or cities, and metaphorical senses, like building up Christian character or faith. The New Testament uses it in contexts like building the church (Matthew 16:18) and edifying others (1 Corinthians 14:4).

Counted over the 176 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word οἰκία (lemma: oikia) refers to a house or dwelling, often used to denote a household or family. It is derived from οἶκος and is frequently found in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 2:11 and 2 Corinthians 5:1, where it can also metaphorically refer to the body as the dwelling of the soul. The distinction between οἰκία and οἶκος is noted, with the former typically indicating the dwelling itself and the latter encompassing the entire estate.

The earliest permanent habitations of the prehistoric inhabitants of Palestine were the natural caves which abound throughout the country. As the people increased and grouped themselves into communities, these abodes were supplemented by systems of artificial caves which, in some cases, developed into extensive burrowings of many adjoining compartments, having…

Till their sojourn in Egypt the Hebrews dwelt in tents. They then for the first time inhabited cities (Gen. 47:3; Ex. 12:7; Heb. 11:9). From the earliest times the Assyrians and the Canaanites were builders of cities. The Hebrews after the Conquest took possession of the captured cities, and seem to have followed the methods of building that had been pursued by the Canaanites. Reference is made to the stone (1 Kings 7:9; Isa. 9:10) and marble (1 Chr. 29:2) used in building, and to the internal wood-work of the houses (
The houses of the rural poor in Egypt, as well as in most parts of Syria, Arabia and Persia, are generally mere huts of mud or sunburnt bricks. In some parts of Palestine and Arabia stone is used, and in certain districts caves in the rocks are used as dwellings. (Amos 5:11) The houses are usually of one story only, viz., the ground floor, and often contain only one apartment. Sometimes a small court for the cattle is attached; and in some cases the cattle are housed in the same building, or the live in a raised platform, and, the cattle round them on the ground. (1 Samuel 28:24) The windows are small apertures high up in the walls, sometimes grated with wood. The roofs are commonly but not always flat, and are usually formed of plaster of mud and straw laid upon boughs or…
Is often put for dwelling, residence; and hence the temple, and even the tabernacle, are called the house of God.
The universal mode of building houses in the East, is in the form of a hollow square, with an open court or yard in the center; which is thus entirely shut in by the walls of the house around it. Into this court all the windows open, there being usually no windows towards the street. Some houses of large size require several courts, and these usually communicate with each other. These courts are commonly paved; and in many large houses parts of them are planted with shrubs and trees, Ps 84:3 128:3; they have also, when possible, a fountain in them, often with a jet d’ eau, 2Sa 17:18. It is customary in many houses to extend an awning over the whole court in hot…

The Greek word ἐπί (epi) is a preposition that indicates a relationship of superposition, often translated as 'on,' 'upon,' or 'over.' It can govern the genitive, dative, or accusative cases, covering meanings related to place, time, authority, and various figurative uses. In the New Testament, it frequently appears with the accusative case, especially in contexts of motion or direction, such as in Matthew 14:28.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

πέτρα is a feminine noun meaning 'rock,' specifically a mass of live rock, as opposed to a detached stone. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, including metaphoric uses in Matthew 16:18 and references to rocky ground in Luke 8:6, 13. The lexicons note a distinction between πέτρα and πέτρος, with some scholars debating the implications of this difference.
πέτρα, -ας, ἡ,
[in LXX chiefly for סֶלַע, צוּר;]
a rock, i.e. a mass of live rock as distinct from πέτρος, a detached stone or boulder: Mt 7:24, 25 27:51, 60, Mk 15:46, Lk 6:48 8:6, 13; of a hollow rock, a cave, Re 6:15, 16 (cf. Is 2:10, al.). Metaph., Mt 16:18 (on the meaning, v. Hort, Eccl., 16 ff., but cf. also ICC, in l.), I Co 10:4; = πέτρος, Ro 9:33, I Pe 2:8(LXX).†

Hom. down; Sept. for yd and Ἔχ; a rock, ledge, cliff’; a. prop.: Mt. vii. 24 sq. ; XXvii. 51,60; Mk. xv. 46; Lk. vi.48; 1 Co. x.4 (on which see πνευματικός, 3 a.) ; a projecting rock, crag, Rev. vi. 15sq.; rocky ground, Lk. viii. 6, 13. b. arock, large stone: Ro. ix. 33; 1 Pet. ii. 8 (7). c. metaph. a man like a rock, by reason of his firmness and strength of soul: Mt. xvi. 18 [some interpp. regard the distinction (generally observed in classic Greek ; see the Comm. and cf. Schmidt, Syn. ch. 51, §§ 4-6) between πέτρα, the massive living rock, and πέτρος, a detached but large fragment, as important for the correct understanding of this passage; others explain the different genders here as due first to the personal then to the material reference.

In PSI LV. 433 (B.C. 261-0) πέτρα is used rather of rocky ground, much like πετρώδης in Mt 13° αὐ, τὰ σκόρδα (‘‘garlic”) τὰ ἐπὶ τῆς πέτρας, 7 οὐκ ἐφυτεύθη οὖν ἐπὶ τῆς πέτρας ᾽Οασιτικά : cf. the similar use of πετραῖος in P Tebt I. 84.-8 (B.c. 118). For the catastrophic influence of the divine name we may cite the magic P Leid Vi 31 (iii/iv A.D.)

"He clave rocks (tsur) in the wilderness,
And gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.
