أَلحَجَرُ الَّذي رَذَلَهُ البَنَّاؤُونَ هُوَ صَارَ رَأْسَ الزَّاوِيَة، مِنْ لَدُنِ الرَّبِّ كَانَ هذَا، وهُوَ عَجِيبٌ في عُيُونِنَا/The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone
Parable of the landowner who planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a wine press in it, and built a watch-tower/”The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 21/33-46/:”‘Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a wine press in it, and built a watch-tower. Then he leased it to tenants and went to another country. When the harvest time had come, he sent his slaves to the tenants to collect his produce. But the tenants seized his slaves and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. Again he sent other slaves, more than the first; and they treated them in the same way. Finally he sent his son to them, saying, “They will respect my son. “But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, “This is the heir; come, let us kill him and get his inheritance. “So they seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. Now when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?’ They said to him, ‘He will put those wretches to a miserable death, and lease the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the produce at the harvest time. ’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 amazing in our eyes”? Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that produces the fruits of the kingdom. The one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.’ When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they realized that he was speaking about them. They wanted to arrest him, but they feared the crowds, because they regarded him as a prophet.”
Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue should pray for the power to interpret. First Letter to the Corinthians 14/01-05/13/14/20/26/:”Pursue love and strive for the spiritual gifts, and especially that you may prophesy. For those who speak in a tongue do not speak to other people but to God; for nobody understands them, since they are speaking mysteries in the Spirit. On the other hand, those who prophesy speak to other people for their building up and encouragement and consolation. Those who speak in a tongue build up themselves, but those who prophesy build up the church. Now I would like all of you to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. One who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up. Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue should pray for the power to interpret. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unproductive. Brothers and sisters, do not be children in your thinking; rather, be infants in evil, but in thinking be adults. What should be done then, my friends? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up.”
