Matthew 21:41-43
International Standard Version
41 They told him, “He will put those horrible men to a horrible death. Then he will lease the vineyard to other farmers who will give him his produce at harvest time.”
42 Jesus asked them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures,
‘The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.[a]
This was the Lord’s[b] doing,
and it is amazing in our eyes.’?[c]
43 That is why I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce fruit for it.
