{The preciousness} (h(8820)tim(885c)). Or "the honour." Explanation
of entimon and ou m(8820)kataischunth(8869) and only true "for you
which believe" ( ois pisteuousin ethical dative of articular
present active participle of pisteu(935c) to believe). {But for such
as disbelieve} (apistousin de). Dative present active
participle again of apiste(935c), opposite of pisteu(935c) ( Lu
24:11 ). {Was made the head of the corner} (egen(8874)h(8820)eis
kephal(886e) g(936e)ias). This verse is from Ps 118:22 with evident
allusion to Isa 28:16 (kephal(886e) g(936e)ias=akrog(936e)iaion). See Mt
21:42 Mr 12:10 Lu 20:17 , where Jesus himself quotes Ps
118:22 and applies the rejection of the stone by the builders
(hoi oikodomountes, the experts) to the Sanhedrin's conduct
toward him. Peter quoted it also (and applied it as Jesus had
done) in his speech at the Beautiful Gate ( Ac 4:11 ). Here he
quotes it again to the same purpose.
