“This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.”
Acts 4:11 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 4:11
Peter quotes Psalm 118:22 - 'the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner' - applying Israel's rejected-then-exalted stone to Christ. The Greek 'exouthenetheis' (set at nought) means 'counted as nothing,' revealing the depth of religious leaders' contempt. Yet God made this rejected stone the 'head of the corner' (Greek 'kephalēn gōnias,' cornerstone) - the critical stone uniting two walls, bearing the building's weight. The builders' rejection doesn't nullify God's choice.
