Luke 20:17-19
Lexham English Bible
17 But he looked intently at them and[a] said, “What then is this that is written:
‘The stone which the builders rejected,
this has become the cornerstone.’[b]
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and the one on whom it falls—it will crush him!” 19 And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay their[c] hands on him at that same hour, and they were afraid of the people, for they knew that he had told this parable with reference to them.

17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
19 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
