The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief corner stone.

Jesus *said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures,
‘The stone which the builders rejected,
This became the chief corner stone;
This came about from the Lord,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?

Have you not even read this Scripture:
‘The stone which the builders rejected,
This became the chief corner stone;

But Jesus looked at them and said, “What then is this that is written:
‘The stone which the builders rejected,
This became the chief corner stone’?

He is the stone which was rejected by you, the builders, but which became the chief corner stone.

having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone,

For this is contained in Scripture:
“Behold, I lay in Zion a choice stone, a precious corner stone,
And he who believes in Him will not be disappointed.”

This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve,
“The stone which the builders rejected,
This became the very corner stone,”

“They will not take from you even a stone for a corner
Nor a stone for foundations,
But you will be desolate forever,” declares the Lord.
