Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 20:18

18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

We met with this Parable at large both in Matth. 21.33. to the end, and in Mark 12.1. Its obvious Scope is to let them know, that God in righteous Judgment, for the Iews abusing the Lord's Prophets, Iohn the Baptist, and himself, who was in a few Days to be killed by them, would unchurch and destroy them, and raise up to himself a Church amongst the Gentiles, and that this was no more then was Prophecied of, Psal. 118.22▪
