'Offense' in the Bible

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.”

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.

After they examined me, they wanted to release me, since I had not committed a capital offense.

Give no offense to the Jews or the Greeks or the church of God,

Now brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished.
