This was planned by the Lord and is a marvelous thing to us'? 43 Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you [Jews] and will be given to a nation [i.e., the Gentiles] that will produce the fruit of the kingdom. 44 And the person who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but whoever it falls on will be scattered like dust."
