Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

Whosoever shall fall on that stone, shall be broken,.... Not who shall fall upon Christ by faith, and build upon him as the foundation stone, for such shall be saved; but that stumble at him, and are offended with him, and fall by unbelief and hardness of heart; such do themselves much hurt and mischief and expose themselves to danger and ruin; they bid very fair for destruction:

but on whomsoever it shall fall; as it did with its full weight upon the Jews at their destruction, and as it will upon all Christless sinners at the last day:

it will grind him to powder; the ruin of such will be unavoidable, and there will be no recovery; See Gill on Matthew 21:44.

People's New Testament

20:9-19 A certain man planted a vineyard. This parable is also in Mt 21:33-46 Mr 12:1-12. See notes on Matthew.

Wesley's Notes

20:18 Mt 21:45.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

20:9-19 Christ spake this parable against those who resolved not to own his authority, though the evidence of it was so full. How many resemble the Jews who murdered the prophets and crucified Christ, in their enmity to God, and aversion to his service, desiring to live according to their lusts, without control! Let all who are favoured with God's word, look to it that they make proper use of their advantages. Awful will be the doom, both of those who reject the Son, and of those who profess to reverence Him, yet render not the fruits in due season. Though they could not but own that for such a sin, such a punishment was just, yet they could not bear to hear of it. It is the folly of sinners, that they persevere in sinful ways, though they dread the destruction at the end of those ways.


Isaiah 8:15 Many of them will stumble; they will fall and be broken, they will be snared and captured."
Matthew 21:44 He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed."

Broken Crush Crushed Dust Fall Fallen Falleth Falling Falls Grind Hurt Pieces Powder Scatter Severely Stone Utterly Whomever Whomsoever

Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

shall fall. This is an allusion to the Jewish mode of stoning. 'The place of stoning was twice as high as a man. From the top of this one of the witnesses struck the culprit on the loins, and felled him to the ground: if he died of this, well; if not, the other witness threw a stone upon his heart,' etc. Our Lord seems to refer not only to the dreadful crushing of the Jews by the Romans, but also to their general dispersion to the present day.

Isa 8:14,15 Da 2:34,35,44,45 Zec 12:3 Mt 21:34 1Th 2:16

Alphabetical: be broken but crushed dust Everyone falls he him it like on pieces scatter stone that to who whom whomever will
