The Key Word — σκανδαλίζει;, skandalizōgenerated
The verb σκανδαλίζω is a present active indicative form, meaning to cause someone to stumble or to offend. It conveys the idea of presenting a challenge that could lead to moral or spiritual failure.
In this context, Jesus questions whether His teaching is causing His disciples to struggle with their faith. The word captures the essence of what it means to be offended by a truth that demands a response.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as, "Does this offend you?" This is consistent across several translations, including the BSB, WEB, and ASV, which maintain a focus on the idea of offense.
However, the KJV and other versions use the phrasing, "Doth this offend you?" which carries a more archaic tone. The translations agree on the core meaning of Jesus' question but differ slightly in style and phrasing.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in this verse is εἶπεν, He said, which governs the entire sentence. The sentence structure includes a noun phrase as the subject and several clauses that provide context and detail.
The first clause introduces Jesus' awareness of the disciples' grumbling, while the second clause presents His direct question. This structure emphasizes Jesus' knowledge of their thoughts and His willingness to engage them.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the name Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous) appears in various contexts, often rendering the Hebrew name יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (Yehoshua), which signifies salvation. This choice emphasizes the identity of Jesus as the one who brings salvation, resonating with the themes of His teachings.
The word περὶ (peri), meaning 'about,' is used in the LXX to translate various Hebrew terms, including those related to sin or covering. This indicates a focus on the subject matter being discussed, which is central to the offense taken by the disciples. The pronouns τούτου and τοῦτο (houtos) both refer to 'this,' linking the teaching directly to the reaction of the disciples, while ὑμᾶς (su) directly addresses the disciples, making the question personal and immediate.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,

The Greek word Ἰησοῦς (*Iēsous*) refers primarily to Jesus, the Savior, and is derived from the Hebrew name Joshua or Jehoshua. It appears frequently in the New Testament, denoting Jesus Christ, and also refers to other figures named Jesus, such as Jesus, son of Eliezer, and Jesus Justus. The entries consistently identify it as a common name among Israelites.

The Greek word ἑαυτοῦ (i.e., *heautou*) is a reflexive pronoun meaning 'of himself, herself, itself,' and is used primarily in the third person. It appears in various contexts throughout the New Testament, often indicating actions done by a subject to themselves or emphasizing possession.

The Greek word ὅτι (hoti) is a conjunction primarily meaning 'that' or 'because.' It introduces objective clauses, often following verbs of perception or declaration, and can also serve as a causal particle. The New Testament frequently employs it in this way, such as in Matthew 5:4-12. There is some variation in how lexicons describe its usage, particularly regarding its pleonastic function in direct discourse.
ὅτι [properly neut. of ὅστις], a conjunction [fr. Hom. down], (Lat. quod [ef.

The Greek word γογγύζω (i.e., *gogguzō*) means to mutter, murmur, or grumble. It is used in the New Testament to describe expressions of discontent or secretive conversation, appearing in verses like John 6:41 and 1 Corinthians 10:10. The term is noted for its onomatopoeic quality, reflecting the sound of murmuring.
† γογγύζω,
[in LXX chiefly for לוּן ;]
to mutter, murmur: I Co 10:10; seq. κατά, Mt 20:11; πρός, Lk 5:30; περί, Jo 6:41, 61; μετ’ ἀλλήλων, Jo 6:43; c. acc., seq. περί, Jo 7:32 (cf. δια-γογγύζω).†

This familiar LXX and NT word is fairly attested = ‘“*murmur” in the vernacular, as in P Petr II. 9(3)® (B.c. 241-39) τὸ πλήρωμα γογγύζει φάμενοι ἀδικεῖσθαι, “ the gang (of workmen) are murmuring, saying that they are being wronged.” In the curious papyrus P Oxy I. 33 {1 (late ii/A.D.), describing an interview between the Emperor (2?

It is used to refer to something nearby or recently mentioned, often with a connotation of contempt in certain contexts.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word μαθητής (i.e., *mathetes*) means a learner or disciple, derived from the verb for learning, μανθάνω (*manthanō*). It refers primarily to a follower of a teacher, especially in the context of Jesus and his twelve apostles, but also applies to early Christians generally. The term appears frequently in the New Testament, notably in Matthew and Acts.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

In dealing with synonyms of the N. T. we plainly need not concern ourselves with such earlier, or even contemporary, uses of the words which we are discriminating, as lie altogether outside of the N. T. sphere, when these uses do not illustrate, and have not affected, their Scriptural employment. It follows from this that all those contemptuous uses of λαλεῖν as to talk at random, as one ἀθυρόστομος, or with no door to his lips, might do; of λαλιά, as chatter («Kpacia λόγου ἄλογος, Plato, Defin. 416)—for I cannot believe that we are to find this at John iv. 42—may be dismissed and set aside. The antithesis in the line of Eupolis (Meineke, /ragm. Com. Gr. p. 174), Λαλεῖν ἄριστος, ἀδυνατώτατος λέγειν, does little or nothing to illustrate the matter in hand. The distinction which indeed exists between the words may in this way be made clear. There are two leading aspects under which speech…

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

The Greek word οὗτος (i.e., *houtos*) is a demonstrative pronoun meaning 'this' or 'this one.' It is used to refer to something nearby or recently mentioned, often with a connotation of contempt in certain contexts. In the New Testament, it appears in various forms, such as in Matthew 3:17 and John 1:15, and can also serve to emphasize or clarify a subject.

The Greek word σκανδαλίζω (skandalizō) is built from the root σκάνδαλον and primarily means to cause someone to stumble or to offend. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe actions that hinder moral conduct or provoke negative feelings, as seen in verses like Matthew 5:29 and 1 Corinthians 8:13. The passive form indicates being made to stumble or offended.
