Matthew 21:42-44

Amplified Bible

⁴²Jesus asked them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:

‘The [very] ^[a]Stone which the builders rejected and threw away,
Has become the chief Cornerstone;
This is the Lord’s doing,
And it is marvelous and wonderful in our eyes’?^(A)

⁴³Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to [another] people who will produce the fruit of it. ⁴⁴And he who falls on this Stone will be broken to pieces; but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”^(B)
