Matthew 21:43 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 21:43

41 ^aThey said to Him, ^b“He will destroy those wicked men miserably, ^cand lease his vineyard to other vinedressers who will¹ render to him the fruits in their seasons.”

42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:
^a‘The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
This was the Lord’s doing,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?

43 “Therefore I say to you, ^athe kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it.

44 And ^awhoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, ^bit will grind him to powder.”

45 Now when the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they perceived that He was speaking of them.

46 But when they sought to lay hands on Him, they ^afeared the multitudes, because ^bthey took Him for a prophet.
