Lukas 20:18

20:18 Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, ¹  and the one on whom it falls will be crushed.” ² 

[20:18]  ¹ tn On this term, see BDAG 972 s.v. συνθλάω.

[20:18]  ² tn Grk “on whomever it falls, it will crush him.”

[20:18]  sn This proverb basically means that the stone crushes, without regard to whether it falls on someone or someone falls on it. On the stone as a messianic image, see Isa 28:16 and Dan 2:44-45.
