In the context of <a href="/mark/12-11.htm">Mark 12:11</a>, Jesus is quoting <a href="/psalms/118-23.htm">Psalm 118:23</a>, which is part of the Hallel, a series of psalms sung during Jewish festivals. The "Lord" here refers to Yahweh, the covenant God of Israel. This statement underscores that the events being described are not random but are orchestrated by God. In the broader biblical narrative, this aligns with the theme of God's sovereignty and His active role in the unfolding of salvation history. The rejection of the cornerstone, which is Jesus, is part of God's redemptive plan.<p><b>and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”</b><br>The term "marvelous" suggests something extraordinary and beyond human comprehension. In the original context of <a href="/psalms/118.htm">Psalm 118</a>, it refers to the unexpected and wondrous acts of God, often in delivering His people. In the New Testament context, it points to the surprising and awe-inspiring nature of Jesus' role as the cornerstone, despite being rejected by the religious leaders. This phrase invites reflection on the mystery and majesty of God's ways, which often defy human expectations. The "eyes" here symbolize understanding and recognition, suggesting that those who perceive God's work in Jesus find it astonishing and worthy of praise. This connects to the broader biblical theme of revelation, where God opens the eyes of believers to see His truth.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a></b><br>The central figure in the Gospel of Mark, Jesus is teaching in the temple courts and addressing the religious leaders through parables.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/r/religious_leaders.htm">Religious Leaders</a></b><br>The chief priests, scribes, and elders who are questioning Jesus' authority and are the primary audience of His parables.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_parable_of_the_tenants.htm">The Parable of the Tenants</a></b><br>This parable, which precedes <a href="/mark/12-11.htm">Mark 12:11</a>, is a account Jesus tells to illustrate the rejection of God's messengers and ultimately His Son by the leaders of Israel.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_stone.htm">The Stone</a></b><br>Referring to the cornerstone, a metaphor for Jesus Himself, who is rejected by the builders (the religious leaders) but chosen by God.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The Lord</a></b><br>God the Father, who orchestrates the events described and whose purposes are fulfilled despite human rejection.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/d/divine_sovereignty.htm">Divine Sovereignty</a></b><br>God's plans are accomplished despite human rejection.
