Thematic Bible: Of Christ's rejection, the rejected conerstone


Thematic Bible




This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

And have ye not read this scripture: The stone which the builders rejected is placed as the head of the corner;

coming unto whom (is the living Stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious),

Jesus said unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you and given to a people bringing forth the fruits thereof. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

But he beheld them and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
