Isaiah 28:16

Matthew 21:42

In the scriptures; Ps 118:22,23. This was a prophecy of the truths and events represented in the parable, which were about to be fulfilled in the crucifixion of Christ, the casting off of the Jews, and the calling of the Gentiles into the church of God.

The stone; the Lord Jesus Christ.

The builders; the Jews, and especially their leaders, the scribes and Pharisees.

Acts 4:11

The stone; Ps 118:22; Isa 28:16; Mt 21:42.

Ephesians 2:20

Are built; into a spiritual temple.

The foundation of the apostles and prophets; the foundation laid by them; in other words, the doctrine preached by them, the corner-stone of which is Jesus Christ. The fact, that in describing the foundation of the church, Paul, under the guidance of the Holy Ghost, says nothing of Peter, but teaches that it is built on Christ, as preached by apostles and prophets, is conclusive evidence that the belief of its being built on Peter, or any mere creature, is an error.

2 Timothy 2:19

The foundation; Jesus Christ, on whom are built the church of God and the hopes of his people. Isa 28:16; 1Co 3:10-15; Eph 2:19-22.

This seal; this double inscription written upon it.

Knoweth--his; and will keep them from the seductions of the wicked. This gives one mark of the true believer.

Depart from iniquity; this gives the other mark. All who are on "the foundation of God" exhibit both these marks.

1 Peter 2:6

In the scripture; Isa 28:16. The Scriptures show that Jesus Christ is the only foundation of hope, and that those who build on any other foundation will in the end be disappointed.
