Matthew 21:41-43
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
41 They say to Him, “He will miserably destroy the miserable ones themselves! And he will rent the vineyard to other farmers who will give-back the fruits to him in their seasons”.
The Kingdom Will Be Taken Away Because You Rejected God’s Cornerstone
42 Jesus says to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the ones building rejected, this became the head[a] of the corner. This came about from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? [Ps 118:22-23]. 43 For this reason[b] I say to you that the kingdom of God will be taken-away from you, and will be given to a nation[c] producing its fruits.
