   Jesus Himself and the Gospels tell us:   
      
   "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon   
   this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell   
   shall not prevail against it."   
   Matthew 16:18, KJV   
      
   "Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures,   
   The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become   
   the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is   
   marvellous in our eyes?"   
   Matthew 21:42, KJV   
      
   "And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the   
   builders rejected is become the head of the corner: This was   
   the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?"   
   Mark 12:10-11, KJV   
      
   "And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is   
   written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is   
   become the head of the corner? Whosoever shall fall upon   
   that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall,   
   it will grind him to powder."   
   Luke 20:17-18, KJV   
      
   "And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer   
   many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief   
   priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days   
   rise again."   
   Mark 8:31, KJV   
      
   "Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be   
   rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be   
   slain, and be raised the third day."   
   Luke 9:22, KJV   
      
   "But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of   
   this generation."   
   Luke 17:25, KJV   
      
   "He came unto his own, and his own received him not."   
   John 1:11, KJV   
      
   The Apostle Paul tells us:   
      
   "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid,   
   which is Jesus Christ."   
   1 Corinthians 3:11, KJV   
      
   "And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and   
   prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner   
   stone;"   
   Ephesians 2:20, KJV   
      
   "And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank   
   of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was   
   Christ."   
   1 Corinthians 10:4, KJV   
      
   The Apostle Peter tells us:   
      
   "This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders,   
   which is become the head of the corner."   
   Acts 4:11, KJV   
      
   "If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. To whom   
   coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men,   
   but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones,   
   are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer   
   up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.   
   Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I   
   lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he   
   that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you   
   therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which   
   be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the   
   same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of   
   stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble   
   at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were   
   appointed."   
   1 Peter 2:3-8, KJV   
      
   The Old Testament Prophet Isaiah tells us:   
      
   "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and   
   acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from   
   him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not."   
   Isaiah 53:3, KJV   
      
   The Old Testament Prophet Daniel tells us:   
      
   "Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands,   
   which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and   
   clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay,   
   the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces   
   together, and became like the chaff of the summer   
   threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no   
   place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image   
   became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth . . .   
   And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set   
   up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the   
   kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall   
   break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall   
   stand for ever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was   
   cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in   
   pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the   
   gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall   
   come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the   
   interpretation thereof sure."   
   Daniel 2:34-35, 44-45, KJV
