written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is
become the head of the corner? Whosoever shall fall upon
that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall,
it will grind him to powder."
Luke 20:17-18, KJV

"And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer
many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief
priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days
rise again."

The Apostle Peter tells us:

"This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders,
which is become the head of the corner."
Acts 4:11, KJV

"If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. To whom
coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men,
but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones,
are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer
up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I
lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he
that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you
therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which
be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the
same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of
stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble
at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were
appointed."
1 Peter 2:3-8, KJV

The Old Testament Prophet Isaiah tells us:

"He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and
acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from
him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not."
Isaiah 53:3, KJV

The Old Testament Prophet Daniel tells us:

"Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands,
which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and
clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay,
the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces
together, and became like the chaff of the summer
threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no
place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image
became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth . . .
And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set
up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the
kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall
break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall
stand for ever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was
cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in
pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the
gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall
come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the
interpretation thereof sure."
Daniel 2:34-35, 44-45, KJV
