Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never cast out.

A living

Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me.

Stone

Therefore the Lord God said:
“Look, I have laid a stone in Zion,
a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;
the one who believes will be unshakable.

As you were watching, a stone broke off without a hand touching it,

struck the statue on its feet of iron and fired clay, and crushed them.

Notice the stone I have set before Joshua; on that one stone are seven eyes. I will engrave an inscription on it”—this is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts—“and I will take away the guilt of this land in a single day.

Disallowed

The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.

but for the two houses of Israel,
He will be a stone to stumble over
and a rock to trip over,

The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.

The

stone that the builders rejected

has become the cornerstone.

But He looked at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of this Scripture:

The stone that the builders rejected—
this has become the cornerstone?

This Jesus is

the stone rejected by you builders,
which has become the cornerstone.

Chosen

“This is My Servant; I strengthen Him,
this is My Chosen One; I delight in Him.
I have put My Spirit on Him;
He will bring justice to the nations.

Here is My Servant whom I have chosen,
My beloved in whom My soul delights;
I will put My Spirit on Him,
and He will proclaim justice to the nations.

Precious

So honor will come to you who believe, but for the unbelieving,

The stone that the builders rejected—
this One has become the cornerstone,

so that the genuineness of your faith—more valuable than gold, which perishes though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Simeon Peter, a slave and an apostle of Jesus Christ:

To those who have obtained a faith of equal privilege with ours through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ.
