{Shall be broken to pieces} (sunthlasth(8873)etai). Some
ancient manuscripts do not have this verse. But it graphically
pictures the fate of the man who rejects Christ. The verb means
to shatter. We are familiar with an automobile that dashes
against a stone wall, a tree, or a train and the ruin that
follows. {Will scatter him as dust} (likm(8873)ei). The verb was
used of winnowing out the chaff and then of grinding to powder.
This is the fate of him on whom this Rejected Stone falls.
