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.

built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.

For it is contained in Scripture:

Look! I lay a stone in Zion,
a chosen and honored cornerstone,
and the one who believes in Him
will never be put to shame!

As it is written:

Look! I am putting a stone in Zion to stumble over
and a rock to trip over,
yet the one who believes on Him
will not be put to shame.

For no one can lay any other foundation than what has been laid down. That foundation is Jesus Christ.

He will be a sanctuary;
but for the two houses of Israel,
He will be a stone to stumble over
and a rock to trip over,
and a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.

Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:

The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.
This came from the Lord
and is wonderful in our eyes?

Haven’t you read this Scripture:

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?

‘What are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain. And he will bring out the capstone accompanied by shouts of: Grace, grace to it!’”

This Jesus is

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

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

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