And he sent a third; and they wounded him also and drove him out. Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: perhaps when they see Him they will reverence Him. But when the husbandmen saw Him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir, come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto them? He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard this they said, God forbid. And He looked upon them and said, What then is this, which is written, The stone which the builders refused, is become the head of the corner? Whosoever falleth on that stone shall be bruised; but on whomsoever it falleth, it will crush him to pieces.

and elders of Israel, if we are this day examined about the benefit done to the impotent man, by what means he is cured, be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, but whom God hath raised from the dead, even by Him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone that was set at nought by you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
to whom coming as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen of God, and precious, ye also are built up as living stones, a spiritual house, an holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Whence also it is said in scripture, Behold I lay in Sion a chief corner-stone, choice and precious: and he that confideth on it shall not be ashamed. read more.
To you therefore who believe it is precious: but to them that are disobedient, the stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner, and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence. These stumble at the word through unbelief, unto which also they were appointed.
