Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(48) When the flood arose.--Here we have some-what less fulness of detail than in St. Matthew's mention of "the rain" and the "wind," as well as the rivers or streams. The word rendered "flood" referred primarily to the "sea," but had been transferred to the movement of any large body of water.And could not shake it.--Better, and had no power to shake it. Somewhat stronger than the form in St. Matthew, which simply states the result, "it fell not." Here the result of the "digging deep" to the rock-foundation was that the house was not even "shaken."For it was founded upon a rock.--The better MSS. give, because it had been well built, the verse having apparently been altered in later MSS. to bring it into agreement with St. Matthew.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekHe isἐστιν (estin)Verb - Present Indicative Active - 3rd Person SingularStrong's 1510: I am, exist.
