“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 marvelous in our eyes? Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder” (Matt. 21:42–44).
YOU will remember the context of these verses. Our blessed Lord, who had already foretold His rejection by Israel and solemnly prophesied His death and resurrection, related the parable of the householder and the vineyard in the hearing of the Pharisees and the chief priests. It is a parable easily read and understood in the light of the kindred passage in Isaiah 5 and the striking reference in Psalm 80:8.
