Parable of the Wicked Tenants - part II

Parables of Jesus (pt. 4)

"Woe to the pot!"

---

​This video is the second installment in a two-part series that examines the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Mark 12:1-12).

In this segment, we will explore Psalm 118:22-24, with a particular focus on the phrase "the stone the builders rejected." We will delve into how Jesus identifies Himself as that very "stone."

Furthermore, we will consider a Rabbinic saying that sheds light on a statement found in both Matthew (Matt. 21:44) and Luke (Luke 20:18).

The Rabbis express:

  "If a stone falls on a pot, woe to the pot.
   If a pot falls on a stone, woe to the pot.
   Either way, woe to the pot!"

If indeed Jesus is this stone, then those upon whom it descends face great peril.
