Connecting Statement:
Peter completes his speech to the Jewish religious rulers that he began in Acts 4:8.
Jesus Christ is the stone ... which has been made the head cornerstone
Peter is quoting from the Psalms. This is a metaphor that means the religious leaders, like builders, rejected Jesus, but God will made him the most important in his kingdom, as a cornerstone in a building is important. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
head
Here the word "head" means "most important" or "vital."
you builders rejected
"you builders thought was worth nothing"
