A Cornerstone in Zion
16 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, I lay in Zion (A)a stone for a foundation,
A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;
Whoever believes will not act hastily.
Matthew 21:42
New King James Version
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’?
1 Peter 2:6-8
New King James Version
6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,
(A)“Behold, I lay in Zion
A chief cornerstone, elect, precious,
And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”
7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who [a]are disobedient,
(B)“The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone,”
8 and
(C)“A stone of stumbling
And a rock of offense.”
(D)They stumble, being disobedient to the word, (E)to which they also were appointed.
