Everyone who comes to me and gives ear to my words and does them, I will make clear to you what he is like:

He is like a man building a house, who went deep and put the base of it on a rock; and when the water came up and the river was driving against that house, it was not moved, because the building was good.

ἐστιν estin “he is”

And Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the man sent friends to him, saying, Lord, do not give yourself trouble: for I am not important enough for you to come into my house:

εἰμι eimi “I am”
