According to Luke, Jesus is like a special stone that builders didn’t want at first, but then it became the most important stone in the building. This means Jesus is super important and makes everything strong and good.

Acts 4:11: This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

Contradiction with Matthew 21:42

This verse supports Acts 4:11 rather than contradicting it, both referring to Jesus as the cornerstone.

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 Mark 12:10-11

Similarly aligns with Acts 4:11, describing Jesus as the rejected stone that becomes the cornerstone.

Mark 12:10-11: And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

Contradiction with Luke 20:17

Also complements Acts 4:11, as it repeats the message of the cornerstone rejected by builders.

Luke 20:17: And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

Contradiction with 1 Peter 2:7

Again, this verse agrees with Acts 4:11, indicating Jesus as the cornerstone rejected by believers.

1 Peter 2:7: Unto you therefore which believe [he is] precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, [precious: or, an honour]

Contradiction with Psalm 118:22

This Old Testament verse is often cited in the New Testament and supports the premise of Acts 4:11.

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

Paradox #1

The potential contradiction in this verse could be about the idea of exclusivity, which might conflict with the notion of inclusivity or acceptance of different beliefs. The verse implies a singular path or cornerstone, which might seem at odds with respecting diverse religious views and freedom of belief.
