'Offense' in the Bible

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.”

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.”

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us?” And they took offense at Him.

while Paul said in his own defense, “I have committed no offense either against the Law of the Jews or against the temple or against Caesar.”

Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.

just as it is written,“Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense,And he who believes in Him will not be disappointed.”

Do not tear down the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are clean, but they are evil for the man who eats and gives offense.

Give no offense either to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God;

giving no cause for offense in anything, so that the ministry will not be discredited,

and,“A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense”;for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this doom they were also appointed.
