Mark

Mark 12:10–12

¹⁰Have you never read this Scripture:

‘The stone the builders rejected

has become the cornerstone.

¹¹This is from the Lord,

and it is marvelous in our eyes’^a?”

¹²At this, the leaders sought^b to arrest Jesus, for they knew that He had spoken this parable against them. But fearing the crowd, they left Him and went away.
