1. Matthieu 7:24 (NEG79)
  2. Explication du texte

Why does Jesus refer to building practices in order to teach?

Matthieu 7:24 (NEG79)

24 C'est pourquoi, quiconque entend ces paroles que je dis et les met en pratique, sera semblable à un homme prudent qui a bâti sa maison sur le roc.

It is very possible that Jesus had experience in house construction work (Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3). As a result, he would be very familiar with the requirements for building foundations, and he builds on this experience in his illustration.
