Matthew 21:43-45

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴³ I tell you, for this reason the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce the fruits of it.

^44 [a]And whoever falls on this Stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom It falls will be crushed to powder [and It will ^[b]winnow him, ^[c]scattering him like dust].^(A)

⁴⁵ And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard His parables (comparisons, stories used to illustrate and explain), they perceived that He was talking about them.
