Luke 20:18

18 omnis qui ceciderit supra illum lapidem conquassabitur supra quem autem ceciderit comminuet illum

Luke 20:18 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:18

Whosoever shall fall on that stone, shall be
broken,
&c.] Not who shall fall upon Christ by faith, and build upon him as the foundation stone, for such shall be saved; but that stumble at him, and are offended with him, and fall by unbelief and hardness of heart; such do themselves much hurt and mischief and expose themselves to danger and ruin; they bid very fair for destruction:

but on whomsoever it shall fall;
as it did with its full weight upon the Jews at their destruction, and as it will upon all Christless sinners at the last day:

it will grind him to powder;
the ruin of such will be unavoidable, and there will be no recovery; (See Gill on Matthew 21:44).

Luke 20:18 In-Context

16 veniet et perdet colonos istos et dabit vineam aliis quo audito dixerunt illi absit
17 ille autem aspiciens eos ait quid est ergo hoc quod scriptum est lapidem quem reprobaverunt aedificantes hic factus est in caput anguli
18 omnis qui ceciderit supra illum lapidem conquassabitur supra quem autem ceciderit comminuet illum
19 et quaerebant principes sacerdotum et scribae mittere in illum manus illa hora et timuerunt populum cognoverunt enim quod ad ipsos dixerit similitudinem istam
20 et observantes miserunt insidiatores qui se iustos simularent ut caperent eum in sermone et traderent illum principatui et potestati praesidis
