Matthew 21:40-45
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 21

40Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-growers?' 41They *said to Him, 'He will bring those wretches to a wretched end and lease the vineyard to other vine-growers, who will pay him the fruit in the proper seasons.'
42Jesus *said to them, 'Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘A STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS HAS BECOME THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE; THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE Lord, AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES’? 43Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruit. 44And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and on whomever it falls, it will crush him.'
45When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard His parables, they understood that He was speaking about them.
King James Version

Chapter 21

40When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41They 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. 42Jesus 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? 43Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 45And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
