Todo el que caiga sobre esa piedra será hecho pedazos; y aquel sobre quien ella caiga, lo esparcirá como polvo.
Cualquiera que cayere sobre aquella piedra, será quebrantado; pero sobre el que ella cayere, le desmenuzará.
Cualquiera que cayere sobre aquella piedra, será quebrantado; mas sobre el que la piedra cayere, le desmenuzará.
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;
