Living Bible

⁴²Then Jesus asked them, “Didn’t you ever read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone rejected by the builders has been made the honored cornerstone;^[a] how remarkable! what an amazing thing the Lord has done’?

⁴³“What I mean is that the Kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and given to a nation that will give God his share of the crop.^[b] ⁴⁴All who stumble on this rock of truth^[c] shall be broken, but those it falls on will be scattered as dust.”
