Why Is Jesus Called the Cornerstone?

There are several verses in the Bible that refer to Jesus as a cornerstone. What is a cornerstone? And what does it have to do with Jesus?

Todays Text:
Act 4:11 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.
Act 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

The corner stone is the chief stone . Wich is located on the top of a triangle "a mountain " . Like the piramids that Joseph build he never put the corner stone or the top corner, the chief stone on the top of the piramid. Symbolizing the messiah to come.

Its says chief cornerstone.
Which equates to a temple, a pyramid.

A pyramid's cap stone is the stone at the very top, which often is concidered separated from the rest of the structure itself, where all knowledge/wisdom is found within.
The bible is a esoteric book in my opinion.

Thank you for giving the “why”. God never said or did anything without there being a “why”; a reason.🤔

So, how do you explain Matthew 16?

Also please explain the following:
In Koine Greek,  both petros and petra simply meant “rock.” If Jesus had wanted to call Simon a small stone, the Greek lithos would have been used.

Yes, Jesus and his disciples likely spoke Koine Greek in addition to Aramaic and Hebrew in first century Palestine. Some evidence for this includes:

Biblical references

Jesus had conversations with a Roman centurion in Matthew 8:5 and Pontius Pilot in John 18:28, which suggests he spoke or understood Greek.

Jesus may have given some of his apostles nicknames based on Koine Greek, which suggests he or at least one of his apostles knew enough to speak with non-Judeans.

Jesus had two disciples with Greek names, Andrew and Philip. In John 12:20–23, a group of Greeks approach Philip, who then asks Andrew, and together they approach Jesus.

I'm sorry I don't mean any harm but I can't let you get wrong information about my Lord Savior Jesus Christ words are very powerful the slightest difference in adding a word or taking one out can change the whole meaning of something Jesus is not representing as just the cornerstone he is represented as the Chief cornerstone they are as different as night and day do a little bit more research before you put a video out like this to the masses you need to look up the definition of the Chief cornerstone and look up the definition of just a cornerstone thank you you did a good job with the video but you're putting misleading information out about my Lord and King savior Jesus Christ
