Luke 20:16-18

New Living Translation

¹⁶“I’ll tell you—he will come and kill those farmers and lease the vineyard to others.”

“How terrible that such a thing should ever happen,” his listeners protested.

¹⁷Jesus looked at them and said, “Then what does this Scripture mean?

‘The stone that the builders rejected
has now become the cornerstone.’^[a]

¹⁸Everyone who stumbles over that stone will be broken to pieces, and it will crush anyone it falls on.”

Luke 20:16-18

New International Version

¹⁶He will come and kill those tenants^(A) and give the vineyard to others.”

When the people heard this, they said, “God forbid!”

¹⁷Jesus looked directly at them and asked, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written:

“‘The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone’^[a]?^(B)

¹⁸Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”^(C)
