42Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
43Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
44And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
45And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
-Matt. 21:42-45
I have never understood v. 44. Who are the two groups being mentioned here? Thanks in advance.
Edit: N.b. This section follows two parables about the Pharisees. Jesus has just finished telling them the parable about the dishonest vineyard tenants. See [KJV]Matt. 21[/KJV].
