This parable compares building one's life on the teachings and example of Jesus to a flood-resistant building founded on solid rock. The Parable of the Wise and the Foolish Builders (also known as the House on the Rock), is a parable of Jesus from the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew as well as in the Sermon on the Plain in the Gospel of Luke ().
The foolish man is the Devil, who has built his house, that is, all the ungodly, upon the sand, that is, the insecurity of unbelief, or upon the carnal, who are called the sand on account of their barrenness; both because they do not cleave together, but are scattered through the diversity of their opinions, and because they are innumerable.
There is also a slight change from the rain beating on the house to the rain beating against it. Matthew, unlike Luke's version does not give a reason for the house to fall, rather the reason is given for why the house built on stone survives. [1] "Great was its fall" may well have been a proverbial term for complete destruction. [2]

In Luke there are some important differences from Matthew. Matthew has the house being built on rock, and it thus being secured by good choice of location.
The previous verse introduced the wise man who built his house on a rock, the rock being a metaphor for the teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. The fury of nature is much more elaborate than the version of this parable in Luke, where at Luke 6:48 there is only an overflowing river.
