'Offense' in the Bible

Blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me."

And so they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own house."

Isn't this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And aren't his sisters here with us?" And so they took offense at him.

Blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me."

Paul said in his defense, "I have committed no offense against the Jewish law or against the temple or against Caesar."

Do not give offense to Jews or Greeks or to the church of God,

We do not give anyone an occasion for taking an offense in anything, so that no fault may be found with our ministry.

Now, brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed.
