Mark 12:10

12:10 Have you not read this scripture:

The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

Mark 16:3

16:3 They had been asking each other, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?”

Mark 13:2

13:2 Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left on another. All will be torn down!”

Mark 15:46

15:46 After Joseph bought a linen cloth and took down the body, he wrapped it in the linen and placed it in a tomb cut out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone across the entrance of the tomb.

tn Or “capstone,” “keystone.” Although these meanings are lexically possible, the imagery in Eph 2:20-22 and 1 Cor 3:11 indicates that the term κεφαλὴ γωνίας (kefalh gwnia") refers to a cornerstone, not a capstone.

sn With the statement not one stone will be left on another Jesus predicted the total destruction of the temple, something that did occur in a.d. 70.

tn Grk “not one stone will be left here on another which will not be thrown down.”

tn Grk “he”; the referent (Joseph of Arimathea) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

tn The term σινδών (sindwn) can refer to a linen cloth used either for clothing or for burial.

tn That is, cut or carved into an outcropping of natural rock, resulting in a cave-like structure (see L&N 19.25).

tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

tn Or “to the door,” “against the door.”
