Matthew 21:42-44 ESV
Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:
“‘The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
this was the Lord's doing,
and it is marvelous in our eyes’?
Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits. And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.”
Jesus is the cornerstone of the new temple which is the body of Christ. This new thing of God is marvelous to our eyes.
Those who fall on the stone are those God is remaking into His image. He is using those pieces to make them whole. These become the body of Christ.
Those upon whom the stone falls will be ground to chaff and scattered in the wind, returning to the dust of the earth.
