The stone rejected as chief cornerstone

Chief cornerstoneMatthew 21:33-44

33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: 34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. 35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. 37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. 39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. 40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. 42 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? 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Mateo 21:33-44

33 “Oíd otra parábola: Hubo un hombre, padre de familia, el cual plantó una viña, y la cercó de vallado, y cavó en ella un lagar, y edificó una torre, y la arrendó a labradores, y se fue lejos.” 34 “Y cuando se acercó el tiempo de los frutos, envió sus siervos a los labradores, para que recibiesen sus frutos.” 35 “Mas los labradores, tomando a los siervos, golpearon a uno, y a otro mataron, y a otro apedrearon.” 36 “Otra vez, envió otros siervos, más que los primeros; e hicieron con ellos de la misma manera.” 37 “Y a la postre les envió su hijo, diciendo: Respetarán a mi hijo.” 38 “Mas los labradores cuando vieron al hijo, dijeron entre sí: Éste es el heredero, venid, matémosle, y apoderémonos de su heredad.” 39 “Y tomándole, le echaron fuera de la viña, y le mataron.” 40 “Cuando viniere, pues, el señor de la viña, ¿qué hará a aquellos labradores?” 41 Ellos le dijeron: A los malos destruirá sin misericordia, y su viña arrendará a otros labradores que le paguen el fruto a su tiempo. 42 Jesús les dijo: “¿Nunca leísteis en las Escrituras: La piedra que desecharon los edificadores, ha venido a ser cabeza de ángulo: El Señor ha hecho esto, y es cosa maravillosa en nuestros ojos?” 43 “Por tanto os digo: El reino de Dios será quitado de vosotros, y será dado a una nación que produzca los frutos de él.” 44 “Y el que cayere sobre esta piedra, será quebrantado; y sobre quien ella cayere, le desmenuzará.”
