# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Peter completes his speech to the Jewish religious rulers that he began in [Acts 4:8](../04/08.md).
|
|
|
|
# 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 as builders despised
|
|
|

"you as builders rejected" or "you as builders rejected as worth nothing"
