Context — The Parable of the Wicked Tenantsgenerated
Mark 12:10 is part of a parable where Jesus speaks about a vineyard owner and his tenants. The tenants reject the owner’s servants and ultimately his son. This rejection symbolizes how the religious leaders of the time were rejecting Jesus. The scripture Jesus quotes reveals that what they dismiss is actually chosen by God, showing a reversal of expectations and highlighting divine sovereignty.

The Key Word — ἀπεδοκίμασαν, apodokimazōgenerated
The verb ἀποδοκιμάζω, from the root δοκιμάζω (to test), means to reject after testing. It implies a decision made after evaluation, indicating that the builders deemed the stone unworthy.
This rejection is significant as it reflects the broader theme of how Jesus, though rejected by the leaders, is established by God as the cornerstone of faith. The aorist tense indicates a completed action, emphasizing the finality of their rejection.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.’ This is echoed in the KJV and YLT, which also emphasize the stone's significance.
Where the translations differ is in the rendering of ἐγενήθη. The BSB uses 'has become', while the ASV and WEB use 'was', indicating a completed action. The KJV opts for 'is become', which carries a similar meaning.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is ἀνέγνωτε, have you read, which governs the rest of the sentence. It introduces a quote from scripture, with a noun phrase as the object and a series of clauses that elaborate on the scripture being referenced.
The structure includes a relative clause ὃν that specifies the stone being discussed, connecting it to the builders' actions and the subsequent divine affirmation of that stone.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
γραφὴν refers to scripture and is a term used in the Septuagint to denote sacred writings. It connects the New Testament usage back to the Hebrew scriptures, emphasizing the continuity of God's revelation.
The phrase about the stone is rooted in the Old Testament, where it corresponds to the Hebrew word for 'stone', indicating a longstanding tradition of interpreting this passage in light of God's plans.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Mark 12:10 shows Jesus quoting a scripture about a stone that builders rejected but which became the cornerstone. This illustrates how Jesus, though rejected by the religious leaders, is established by God as central to faith.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Nec scripturam hanc legistis : Lapidem quem reprobaverunt ædificantes, hic factus est in caput anguli :
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

The Greek word οὐδέ (oude) is a negative particle that functions as a conjunction meaning 'and not' or 'nor,' and as an adverb meaning 'not even.' It combines elements of negation and exclusion, often appearing in phrases like 'neither... nor.' The New Testament uses it in various contexts, such as in Matthew 6:15 and Acts 4:32.
οὐδέ, [fr. Hom. down], a neg. disjunctive conjunction, compounded of ov and δέ, and therefore prop. i. q. but not; generally, however, its oppositive force being lost, it serves to continue a negation. [On the elision of ε when the next word begins with a vowel (observed by Tdf. in eight instances, neglected in fifty-eight), see TW. Proleg. p. 96; cf. WH. App. p. 146; W.§5, 1 a.; B. p. 10 sq.] It signifies 1. and not, continuing a negation, yet differently from οὔτε; for the latter connects parts or members of the same thing, since τέ is adjunctive like the Lat. que; but οὐδέ places side by side things that are equal and mutually exclude each other [(?). There appears to be some mistake here in what is said about ‘mutual exclusion’ (cf. W. § 55, 6): οὐδέ, like δέ, always makes reference to something preceding; οὔτε to what follows also; the connection of clauses negatived by οὔτε is…

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.

2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.

γραφή (graphē) refers to a writing or document, particularly the sacred writings of the Old Testament. It encompasses both the art of writing and the content of written works, including specific passages and the Scriptures as a whole. The term appears frequently in the New Testament, often highlighting the authority of these texts, such as in 2 Timothy 3:16 and Romans 1:2. Some lexicons note a distinction in usage between singular and plural forms.

skrip'-tur (he graphe, plural hai graphai): The word means "writing." In the Old Testament it occurs in the King James Version only once, "the scripture of truth," in Da 10:21, where it is more correctly rendered in the Revised Version (British and American), "the writing of truth." The reference is not to Holy Scripture, but to the book in which are inscribed God's purposes. In the New Testament, "scripture" and "scriptures" stand regularly for the Old Testament sacred books regarded as "inspired" (2Ti 3:16), "the oracles of God" (Ro 3:2). Compare on this usage Mt 21:42; 22:29; Mr 12:10;
Scripture
Invariably in the New Testament denotes that definite collection of sacred books, regarded as given by inspiration of God, which we usually call the Old Testament (2 Tim. 3:15, 16; John 20:9; Gal. 3:22; 2 Pet. 1:20). It was God’s purpose thus to perpetuate his revealed will. From time to time he raised up men to commit to writing in an infallible record the revelation he gave. The “Scripture,” or collection of sacred writings, was thus enlarged from time to time as God saw necessary. We have now a completed “Scripture,” consisting of the Old and New Testaments. The Old Testament canon in the time of our Lord was precisely the same as that which we now possess under…

The Greek word οὗτος (i.e., *houtos*) is a demonstrative pronoun meaning 'this' or 'this one.' It is used to refer to something nearby or recently mentioned, often with a connotation of contempt in certain contexts. In the New Testament, it appears in various forms, such as in Matthew 3:17 and John 1:15, and can also serve to emphasize or clarify a subject.

The Greek word ἀναγινώσκω (i.e., anaginosko) means to read, derived from roots meaning 'to know again.' It encompasses reading written characters and recognizing or acknowledging information. In the New Testament, it appears in several contexts, including Matthew 24:15 and Acts 15:31. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its usage.

In the New Testament, it is used literally for stones in contexts like tombs (e.g., Mt 27:60) and metaphorically for Christ and believers (e.g., 1 Pet 2:4-5). The lexicons note its use in idioms and as a building material, but there is no significant disagreement among them.

Stone
Stones were commonly used for buildings, also as memorials of important events (Gen. 28:18; Josh. 24:26, 27; 1 Sam. 7:12, etc.). They were gathered out of cultivated fields (Isa. 5:2; comp. 2 Kings 3:19). This word is also used figuratively of believers (1 Pet. 2:4, 5), and of the Messiah (Ps. 118:22; Isa. 28:16; Matt. 21:42; Acts 4:11, etc.). In…
The allusion in Re 2:17 may be to the practice at the Olympic games of giving the successful competitor a white stone, inscribed with his name and the value of his prize; or to the mode of balloting with black and white stones on the question of the acquittal of an accused person, or his admission to certain privileges; if the stones deposited in the urn by the judges were all white, the decision was favorable. In early ages, flint-stone knives were in common use, instead of steel, Ex 4:25 Jos 5:2.
It was also customary to raise a heap or mound of stones in commemoration of any remarkable event, Ge 31:46 Jos 4:5-7 7:26 8:29…

ὅς is a pronoun meaning 'who,' 'which,' 'what,' or 'that.' It serves as both a demonstrative and a relative pronoun, agreeing in gender with its antecedent. The New Testament uses it in various constructions, including phrases like ὃς μὲν... ὃς δέ to indicate contrasting subjects. Notably, it can express purpose or cause in certain contexts.

The Greek word ἀποδοκιμάζω (i.e., *apodokimazo*) means to reject or disapprove after testing. It is built from the prefix ἀπο- and the root δοκιμάζω. This term appears in several New Testament verses, including Matthew 21:42 and 1 Peter 2:4. The entries generally agree on its meaning, focusing on rejection as unworthy or unfit.
ἀπο-δοκιμάζω : (see δοκιμάζω); 1 aor. ἀπεδοκίμασα; Pass., 1 aor. ἀτεδοκιμάσθην ; pf. ptep. ἀποδεδοκιμασμένος ; to disapprove, reject, repudiate: Mt. xxi. 42; Mk. viii. 31; xii. 10; Lk. ix. 22; xvii. 25; xx. 17; 1 Pet. ii.4, 7; Heb. xii. 17.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

The Greek word οἰκοδομέω (i.e., *oikodomeō*) means 'to build' and is derived from the noun for 'builder.' It encompasses both literal construction, such as building houses or cities, and metaphorical senses, like building up Christian character or faith. The New Testament uses it in contexts like building the church (Matthew 16:18) and edifying others (1 Corinthians 14:4).

Building
Among the Jews was suited to the climate and conditions of the country. They probably adopted the kind of architecture for their dwellings which they found already existing when they entered Canaan (Deut. 6:10; Num. 13:19). Phoenician artists (2 Sam. 5:11; 1 Kings 5:6, 18) assisted at the erection of the royal palace and the temple at Jerusalem. Foreigners also assisted at the restoration of the temple after the Exile (Ezra 3:7).
In Gen. 11:3, 9, we have the first recorded instance of the erection of buildings. The cities of the plain of Shinar were founded by…

The Greek word οὗτος (i.e., *houtos*) is a demonstrative pronoun meaning 'this' or 'this one.' It is used to refer to something nearby or recently mentioned, often with a connotation of contempt in certain contexts. In the New Testament, it appears in various forms, such as in Matthew 3:17 and John 1:15, and can also serve to emphasize or clarify a subject.

γίνομαι (ginomai) is a versatile Greek verb meaning to come into being, be born, or arise. It covers a wide range of uses, from the creation of things to events occurring. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts such as birth (e.g., Romans 1:3), occurrences in nature (e.g., John 12:29), and actions being performed (e.g., Matthew 21:42). It can also express the idea of becoming or changing states.

(1) Greek ginomai, used in New Testament for a change of state, corresponding to Hebrew hayah of Old Testament. Compare Mt 18:3 with De 27:9.
(2) For what is fitting, suitable, proper, in New Testament: "prepei" (Mt 3:15; Eph 5:3; 1Ti 2:10); in Old Testament, na'awah, na'ah, Ps 93:5: "Holiness becometh thy house." in this sense, the adverb "becomingly" must be interpreted: "Walk becomingly toward them that are without" (1Th 4:12), i.e. in a way that is consistent with your profession.

εἰς is a preposition meaning 'into' or 'to,' used with the accusative case. It indicates direction, entrance, or limit, applicable to place, time, and figurative purposes. The New Testament frequently employs it to express movement toward locations or states, as seen in passages like Matthew 8:23. It can also denote relationships or results, such as 'for' or 'among.'

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

κεφαλή (kephalē) means 'head' and can refer to the literal head of a person or animal, as well as metaphorically to denote authority or superiority, such as in the context of a husband or Christ. It appears in various New Testament verses, including Matthew 5:36 and 1 Corinthians 11:3. The term also encompasses meanings related to the top or extremity of objects, like a corner-stone.

chef: The English word is in the King James Version of Old Testament the translation of some 17 different Hebrew words, most frequently of ro'sh, "head," sar, "prince," and re'shith, "beginning." The principal changes made by the Revised Version (British and American) are:
(1) Hebrew beth'abh, "house of a father," being recognized as a technical term denoting a subdivision of a tribe, ro'sh is rendered literally "head," when it occurs in connection with this phrase, so that "chief fathers" (Num 31:26) and "chief of the fathers" (Ezr 1:5) become "heads of fathers' houses";
(2) Hebrew naghidh and nasi' are more accurately translated "prince" in such passages as 1Ch 5:2; Nu 3:32;

The Greek word γωνία (i.e., *gonia*) means 'corner' or 'angle.' It can refer to both physical corners, such as those in architecture, and metaphorical corners, like secluded spots. The New Testament uses it in contexts like the 'head of the corner' and the 'four corners of the earth.' There is some variation in its metaphorical usage, particularly regarding secret or obscure places.

Corner
The angle of a house (Job 1:19) or a street (Prov. 7:8). “Corners” in Neh. 9:22 denotes the various districts of the promised land allotted to the Israelites. In Num. 24:17, the “corners of Moab” denotes the whole land of Moab. The “corner of a field” (Lev. 19:9; 23:22) is its extreme part, which was not to be reaped. The Jews were prohibited from cutting the “corners,” i.e., the extremities, of the hair and whiskers running round the ears (Lev. 19:27; 21:5). The “four corners of the earth” in Isa. 11:12 and…
The "corner" of the field was not allowed, (Leviticus 19:9) to be wholly reaped. It formed a right of the poor to carry off what was so left, and this was a part of the maintenance from the soil to which that class were entitled. Under the scribes, minute legislation fixed one-sixtieth as the portion of a field which was to be left for the legal "corner." The proportion being thus fixed, all the grain might be reaped, and enough to satisfy the regulation subsequently separated from the whole crop. This "corner" was, like the gleaning, tithe-free.
