Jesus said to them: have you never read in the Scriptures: the stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes? The Psalm 118:22–23 quotation — the rejected stone that becomes the cornerstone — is the Scripture that interprets the parable's outcome. The builders who rejected the stone are the religious leaders who are about to reject Jesus. The Lord's doing that makes the rejected stone the cornerstone is the resurrection and exaltation that transforms the crucified one into the foundation of the new community.
