Matthew 21:44

The one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, and the one on whom it falls will be crushed.” ¹ 

He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed."

"And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust."

Anyone who stumbles over that stone will be broken to pieces, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls."

Whoever stumbles on this Stone gets shattered; whoever the Stone falls on gets smashed."

Any man falling on this stone will be broken, but he on whom it comes down will be crushed to dust.

The one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and it will crush anyone on whom it falls."

"And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder."

The one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, and the one on whom it falls will be crushed.” ¹ 

¹ tc A few witnesses, especially of the Western text (D 33 it sy^s Or Eus^syr), do not contain 21:44. However, the verse is found in א B C L W Z (Θ) 0102 Ë^1,13 Ï lat sy^c,p,h co and should be included as authentic.

tn Grk “on whomever it falls, it will crush him.”

sn This proverb basically means that the stone crushes, without regard to whether it falls on someone or someone falls on it. On the stone as a messianic image, see Isa 28:16 and Dan 2:44-45.
