Matthew 21:42 in Context — Matthew 21

40 Pues cuando viniere el señor de la viña, ¿qué hará á aquellos labradores?

41 Dícenle: á los malos destruirá miserablemente, y su viña dará á renta á otros labradores, que le paguen el fruto á sus tiempos.

42 Díceles Jesús: ¿Nunca leísteis en las Escrituras: La piedra que desecharon los que edificaban, ésta fué hecha por cabeza de esquina: por el Señor es hecho esto, y es cosa maravillosa en nuestros ojos?

43 Por tanto os digo, que el reino de Dios será quitado de vosotros, y será dado á gente que haga los frutos de él.

44 Y el que cayere sobre esta piedra, será quebrantado; y sobre quien ella cayere, le desmenuzará.
