Contextual Overview

9 Then Jesus told the people this story: "A man planted a vineyard and leased it to some farmers. Then he went away for a long time. 10 When it was time for the grapes to be picked, he sent a servant to the farmers to get some of the grapes. But they beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed. 11 Then he sent another servant. They beat this servant also, and showed no respect for him, and sent him away empty-handed. 12 So the man sent a third servant. The farmers wounded him and threw him out. 13 The owner of the vineyard said, ‘What will I do now? I will send my son whom I love. Maybe they will respect him.' 14 But when the farmers saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This son will inherit the vineyard. If we kill him, it will be ours.' 15 So the farmers threw the son out of the vineyard and killed him. "What will the owner of this vineyard do to them? 16 He will come and kill those farmers and will give the vineyard to other farmers." When the people heard this story, they said, "Let this never happen!" 17 But Jesus looked at them and said, "Then what does this verse mean: ‘The stone that the builders rejected became the cornerstone'? Psalm 118:22 18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken, and the person on whom it falls, that person will be crushed!"

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

shall fall: This is an allusion to the Jewish mode of stoning. "The place of stoning was twice as high as a man. From the top of this one of the witnesses struck the culprit on the loins, and felled him to the ground: if he died of this, well; if not, the other witness threw a stone upon his heart," etc. Our Lord seems to refer not only to the dreadful crushing of the Jews by the Romans, but also to their general dispersion to the present day. Isaiah 8:14, Isaiah 8:15, Daniel 2:34, Daniel 2:35, Daniel 2:44, Daniel 2:45, Zechariah 12:3, Matthew 21:34, 1 Thessalonians 2:16

Reciprocal: Psalms 45:5 - sharp Isaiah 28:16 - Behold Matthew 21:42 - The stone Matthew 21:44 - whosoever Mark 12:10 - The stone Ephesians 2:20 - Jesus 1 Peter 2:4 - disallowed

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Whosoever shall fall on that stone, shall be broken,.... 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;

:-.
