Matthew 21:44-46

New Living Translation

⁴⁴ Anyone who stumbles over that stone will be broken to pieces, and it will crush anyone it falls on.^[a]”

⁴⁵ When the leading priests and Pharisees heard this parable, they realized he was telling the story against them—they were the wicked farmers. ⁴⁶ They wanted to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowds, who considered Jesus to be a prophet.
