42 Jesus said to them,
"Have you never read in the Scriptures:
"'The stone the builders rejected
has become the capstone [or cornerstone];
the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes'?
43 "Therefore I tell you that the
kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will
produce its fruit.
44 He who falls on this stone will be
broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed."
45 When the chief priests and the
Pharisees heard Jesus' parables, they knew he was talking about them.
46 They looked for a way to arrest him, but
they were afraid of the crowd because the people held that he was a prophet.
