Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the Scriptures (Psalms 118:22-23 ), The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes? A bright Messianic prophecy, which reappears in various forms (Isaiah 28:16, etc.), and was made glorious use of by Peter before the Sanhedrim (Acts 4:11). He recurs to it in his first Epistle (1 Peter 2:4-6).
