Lucas 20:17 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:17

And he beheld them
Looked very earnestly and wistly at them, speaking as it were by his looks, signifying, that verily so it would be, as he had said; that they would reject the Messiah, and put him to death, and bring utter ruin upon themselves, and deprive their posterity of many advantages and privileges:

and said, what is this then that is written;
that is, what else is the meaning of such a Scripture? is not the sense of that perfectly agreeable to what has been said, that the Messiah shall be rejected by the principal men among the Jews in church and state, and yet he shall be exalted, who will then take vengeance on them?

the stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the
head of the corner?
The passage is in ( Psalms 118:22 ) . (See Gill on Matthew 21:42).

Lucas 20:17 In-Context

15 —preguntó Jesús—.

16 —¡Qué terrible que suceda algo así! —protestaron los oyentes.

17 Jesús los miró y les dijo:

18 Todo el que tropiece con esa piedra se hará pedazos, y la piedra aplastará a quienes les caiga encima.

19 Los maestros de la ley religiosa y principales sacerdotes querían arrestar a Jesús en ese mismo momento, porque se dieron cuenta de que contaba esa historia en contra de ellos, pues ellos eran los agricultores malvados; pero tenían miedo de la reacción de la gente.
