Contradiction with Matthew 21:42

This verse presents Jesus as a rejected stone that becomes the cornerstone, aligning rather than contradicting 1 Peter 2:6, yet some interpret this foundational role differently.

Matthew 21:42: Jesus 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?

Contradiction with Psalm 118:22

Psalm 118:22: The stone [which] the builders refused is become the head [stone] of the corner.
