42. Jesus saith unto them. Did ye never read in the scriptures--(Psa 118:22, 23).

The stone which the builders rejected, &c.--A bright Messianic prophecy, which reappears in various forms (Is 28:16, &c.), and was made glorious use of by Peter before the Sanhedrim (Ac 4:11). He recurs to it in his first epistle (1Pe 2:4-6).
