Who is the stone the builders rejected?

Answer 1

In Christian tradition, "the stone whom the builders rejected" is Jesus Christ. He was rejected by his own people, the Jews, yet became the "cornerstone" (foundation) of the new community of faith that became the Church.

Answer 2

Jesus Christ.

Psalm 118:22: "The stone that the builders rejected is the one that has become the chief cornerstone."

Ephesians 2:19, 20: "You are fellow citizens with the saints and the domestics of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone."

1 Corinthians 3:11: "For other foundation no man can lay, but that which is laid: which is Christ Jesus."

1 Peter 2:4-8: "Unto whom coming, as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men but chosen and made honorable by God: Be you also as living stones built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore it is said in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious. And he that shall believe in him shall not be confounded. To you therefore that believe, he is honor: but to them that believe not, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner: and a stone of stumbling and a rock of scandal, to them who stumble at the word."

Answer 3

Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.
