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


Thematic Bible




This is the stone set at nought by you building, he having been for the head of the corner.

And have ye not read this writing; The stone which the builders disapproved of, this was for the head of the corner:

To whom approaching, a living stone, truly disapproved of by men, and chosen by God, highly valued,

Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the writings, The stone which the builders disapproved of, this was for the head of the corner? This was from the Lord, and it was wonderful in your eyes. For this I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation doing its fruits. And he falling upon this stone shall be crushed: but upon whomsoever it should fall, it shall winnow him.

And having looked upon them, he said, What then is this written, The stone which the builders disapproved of, this has been for the head of the corner? Every one having fallen upon that stone shall be crushed, and upon whomsoever it should fall, it shall winnow him.
