And blessed G3107 is he, whoever G3739 G1437 shall not be offended G4624 in me.

And he shall be for a sanctuary; H4720 but for a stone H68 of stumbling H5063 and for a rock H6697 of offense H4383 to both H8147 the houses H1004 of Israel, H3478 for a gin H6341 and for a snare H4170 to the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem. H3389

Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD, H3068 the Redeemer H1350 of Israel, H3478 and his Holy H6918 One, to him whom man H5315 despises, H960 to him whom the nation H1471 abhors, H8581 to a servant H5650 of rulers, H4910 Kings H4428 shall see H7200 and arise, H6965 princes H8269 also shall worship, H7812 because H4616 of the LORD H3068 that is faithful, H539 and the Holy H6918 One of Israel, H3478 and he shall choose H977 you.

He is despised H959 and rejected H2310 of men; H376 a man H376 of sorrows, H4341 and acquainted H3045 with grief: H2483 and we hid H5641 as it were our faces H6440 from him; he was despised, H959 and we esteemed H2803 him not.

Is not this G3778 the carpenter, G5045 the son G5207 of Mary, G3137 the brother G80 of James, G2385 and Joses, G2500 and of Juda, G2455 and Simon? G4613 and are not his sisters G79 here G5602 with us? And they were offended G4624 at G1722 him.

And Simeon G4826 blessed G2127 them, and said G2036 to Mary G3137 his mother, G3384 Behold, G2400 this G3778 child is set G2749 for the fall G4431 and rising G386 again G386 of many G4183 in Israel; G2474 and for a sign G4592 which shall be spoken G483 against; G483

(Yes, G1161 a sword G4501 shall pierce G1330 through G1330 your own soul G5590 also, G2532 ) that the thoughts G1261 of many G4183 hearts G2588 may be revealed. G601

And blessed is he, whoever G3739 G1437 shall not be offended G4624 in me.

And they said, G3004 Is not this G3778 Jesus, G2424 the son G5207 of Joseph, G2501 whose G3739 father G3962 and mother G3384 we know? G1492 how G4459 is it then G3767 that he said, G3004 I came G2597 down G2597 from heaven? G3772

When Jesus G2424 knew G1492 in himself G1438 that his disciples G3101 murmured G1111 at G4012 it, he said G2036 to them, Does this G5124 offend G4624 you?

But we preach G2784 Christ G5547 crucified, G4717 to the Jews G2453 a stumbling block, G4625 and to the Greeks G1672 foolishness; G3472

Because G3754 the foolishness G3474 of God G2316 is wiser G4680 than men; G444 and the weakness G772 of God G2316 is stronger G2478 than men. G444

But God G2316 has chosen G1586 the foolish G3474 things of the world G2889 to confound G2617 the wise; G4680 and God G2316 has chosen G1586 the weak G772 things of the world G2889 to confound G2617 the things which are mighty; G2478

And king G935 Herod G2264 heard G191 of him; (for his name G3686 was spread G5318 abroad: G1519 G1096 ) and he said, G3004 That John G2491 the Baptist G907 was risen G1453 from the dead, G3498 and therefore G1223 G5124 mighty G1411 works do show G1754 forth G1754 themselves in him.

And he said, G2036 Truly G281 I say G3004 to you, No G3762 prophet G4396 is accepted G1184 in his own country. G3968

For Jesus G2424 himself G846 testified, G3140 that a prophet G4396 has G2192 no G3756 honor G5092 in his own G2398 country. G3968

For Moses G3475 truly G3303 said G2036 to the fathers, G3962 A prophet G4396 shall the Lord G2962 your G5216 God G2316 raise G450 up to you of your G5216 brothers, G80 like G3945 to me; him shall you hear G191 in all G3956 things whatever G3748 G302 he shall say G2980 to you.

And it shall come G1511 to pass, that every G3956 soul, G5590 which G3748 G302 will not hear G191 that prophet, G4396 shall be destroyed G1842 from among the people. G2992

This G3778 is that Moses, G3475 which G3588 said G2036 to the children G5207 of Israel, G2474 A prophet G4396 shall the Lord G2962 your G5216 God G2316 raise G450 up to you of your G5216 brothers, G80 like G5613 to me; him shall you hear. G191

To whom G3739 our fathers G3962 would G2309 not obey, G5255 G1036 but thrust G683 him from them, and in their hearts G2588 turned G4762 back G4762 again G4762 into G1519 Egypt, G125
