Matthew 21:42

21:42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the scriptures:

‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. ¹ 

This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? ² 

Matthew 22:29

22:29 Jesus ³  answered them, “You are deceived, ⁴  because you don’t know the scriptures or the power of God.

[21:42]  ¹ tn Or “capstone,” “keystone.” Although these meanings are lexically possible, the imagery in Eph 2:20-22 and 1 Cor 3:11 indicates that the term κεφαλὴ γωνίας (kefalh gwnia") refers to a cornerstone, not a capstone.

[21:42]  ² sn A quotation from Ps 118:22-23.

[22:29]  ³ tn Grk “And answering, Jesus said to them.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation.

[22:29]  ⁴ tn Or “mistaken” (cf. BDAG 822 s.v. πλανάω 2.c.γ).
