ISB ~ Matthew 21 v42

in the Scriptures:A reference to Ps 118:22.

• Jesus states that he (stone) is commissioned by God (the Lord’s doing), despite his rejection by Jerusalem (the builders). Scripture thus foresees that the Messiah will paradoxically meet opposition from the leaders of his own people; conversely, the faithful see in the work of Jesus God’s marvelous deeds. Psalm 118 is elsewhere cited as biblical support for Jesus’ vindication and Resurrection (Acts 4:10-11; 1 Pet 2:7; CCC 756).
