42 Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the writings, The stone which the builders disapproved of, this was for the head of the corner? This was from the Lord, and it was wonderful in your eyes. 43 For this I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation doing its fruits. 44 And he falling upon this stone shall be crushed: but upon whomsoever it should fall, it shall winnow him. 45 And the chief priests and Pharisees, having heard his parable, knew that he spake of them. 46 And seeking to lay hold on him, they feared the crowd, since they held him as a prophet.
