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


Thematic Bible




This one is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, that has become {the cornerstone}.

Have you not read this scripture: 'The stone which the builders rejected, this has become {the cornerstone}.

to whom you are drawing near, a living stone rejected by men but chosen [and] precious in the sight of God.

Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the scriptures, 'The stone which the builders rejected, this has become {the cornerstone}. This came about from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes'? For this [reason], I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and will be given to a people who produce its fruits. And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, and [the one] on whom it falls--it will crush him!"

But he looked intently at them [and] said, "What then is this that is written: 'The stone which the builders rejected, this has become {the cornerstone}.' Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and [the one] on whom it falls--it will crush him!"
