Bible Verses About Rocks: Christ as a stumbling stone to the wicked

And He will be a sanctuary— but to both houses of Israel a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, to the dwellers of Jerusalem a trap and a snare.

as it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”

and, “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They stumble because they disobey the word—and to this they were appointed.
