Jesus Offended Many...

Jesus offended many; His own home folk were the first to be offended. When He preached in the synagogue they were initially astonished by Him but ultimately offended at Him.
-- Oswald Chambers

So they took offense at Him.
-- Matthew 13:57a (GWT)

The Pharisees were offended at Jesus because His teaching showed up the hollow emptiness of their profession.

"He is despised and rejected of men ..."
-- Isaiah 53:3

Lord forbid that I should even take offence at You.
