'Offense' in the Bible
The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend [those things by which people are led into sin], and all who practice evil [leading others into sin],
And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household.”
Then the disciples came up and told Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard this statement?”
But He turned and told Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me because you’re not thinking about God’s concerns, but man’s.”
However, so that we do not offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up; and when you open its mouth, you will find a shekel. Take that and give it to them for you and Me.”
Woe to the world because of offenses. For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes.
Then many will take offense, betray one another and hate one another.
