Matthew 21:42-44
1599 Geneva Bible
42 Jesus said unto them, Read ye never in the Scriptures, (A)The stone which the [a]builders refused, the same is [b]made the [c]head of the corner? [d]This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes.
43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation, which shall bring forth the [e]fruits thereof.
44 (B)And whosoever shall fall on this stone, he shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will [f]dash him in pieces.
