Exegesis
The future active likmēsei {λικμήσει | lik-mḗ-sei} portrays the stone as the active agent that “will crush” the person. The symmetrical structure (falling on the stone versus the stone falling on someone), with matching futures, heightens the warning: whether one collides with the stone or is struck by it, the outcome is destructive, with the second scenario intensifying the severity.
In context — Luke 20:18
Everyone who falls upon that stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it may fall, it will crush him .
