15 Watch out for false prophets who come wearing sheep's clothing, but who on the inside are vicious wolves.16 You can recognize them by their fruits. Do people harvest grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?17 So every good tree produces good fruit, while a bad tree produces bad fruit.18 A good tree can't produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can't produce good fruit.19 Every tree that doesn't produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire.20 So you'll recognize them by their fruits.

21 Not everyone who calls me ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the kingdom of heaven—only those who do the will of my Father in heaven.22 Many will say to me at the Day of Judgment, ‘Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name and drive out demons in your name, and perform many miracles in your name?’23 Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Leave me, you people who practice wickedness!’24 Everyone that hears the words I say, and follows them, is like a wise man who built his house on solid rock.25 The rain poured down, and the floods rose, and the winds blew hard against the house, but it didn't fall down, because its foundations were on solid rock.26 Everyone that hears the words I say, and doesn't follow them, is like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.27 The rain poured down, and the floods rose, and the winds blew hard against the house, and it fell down—it totally collapsed.”

28 When Jesus finished explaining these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,29 for he taught like someone with authority, and not like their religious teachers.
