39 Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,
40 and saying, "You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!"
41 Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said,
42 "He saved others, but he can't save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
43 He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, 'I am the Son of God.'"
44 The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.
Mt. 27:39-44
11 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn't receive him.
Jn. 1:11
4 coming to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.
5 You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Yeshua the Messiah.
6 Because it is contained in Scripture,
"Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen, and precious:
He who believes in him will not be disappointed."
7 For you therefore who believe is the honor, but for such as are disobedient,
"The stone which the builders rejected,
Has become the chief cornerstone,"
1 Pet. 2:4-7
