Capstone? or Cornerstone?
I have always remember Christ as our cornerstone as my KJB says. But last weekend I thought I heard the word "capstone" from Acts 4:11 from someone who uses the NIV. I found the verse in NIV to confrim what I heard below.
Acts 4:11 (New International Version)
11He is " 'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone.
So what is a capstone? Isn't a capstone on top of a pyramid or something? A capstone is certainly not a cornerstone. Am I wrong?
Any insights to this word change by the NIV and it's significance will be much appreciated.
