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

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

And many H7227 among them shall stumble, H3782 and fall, H5307 and be broken, H7665 and be snared, H3369 and be taken. H3920

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

And they were offended G4624 in him. But Jesus G2424 said G2036 to them, A prophet G4396 is not without G820 honor, G820 save G1508 in his own country, G3968 and in his own house. G3614

And he did G4160 not many G4183 mighty G1411 works there G1563 because G1223 of their unbelief. G570

Many G4183 therefore G3767 of his disciples, G3101 when they had heard G191 this, said, G2036 This G3778 is an hard G4642 saying; G3056 who G5101 can G1410 hear G191 it?

What and if G1437 you shall see G2334 the Son G5207 of man G444 ascend G305 up where G3699 he was before? G4386

But there are some G5100 of you that believe G4100 not. For Jesus G2424 knew G1492 from the beginning G746 who G5101 they were that believed G4100 not, and who G5101 should betray G3860 him.

From that time many G4183 of his disciples G3101 went G565 back, G3694 and walked G4043 no G3765 more G3765 with him.

Why? G1302 Because G3754 they sought G2212 it not by faith, G4102 but as it were by the works G2041 of the law. G3551 For they stumbled G4350 at that stumbling stone; G3037

As it is written, G1125 Behold, G2400 I lay G5087 in Sion G4622 a stumbling stone G3037 G4348 and rock G4073 of offense: G4625 and whoever G3956 G3588 believes G4100 on G1909 him shall not be ashamed. G2617

For after G1894 that in the wisdom G4678 of God G2316 the world G2889 by wisdom G4678 knew G1097 not God, G2316 it pleased G2106 God G2316 by the foolishness G3472 of preaching G2782 to save G4982 them that believe. G4100

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

But the natural G5591 man G444 receives G1209 not the things of the Spirit G4151 of God: G2316 for they are foolishness G3472 to him: neither G2532 G3756 can G1410 he know G1097 them, because G3754 they are spiritually G4153 discerned. G350

To you therefore G3767 which G3588 believe G4100 he is precious: G5092 but to them which be disobedient, G544 the stone G3037 which the builders G3618 disallowed, G593 the same G3778 is made G1096 the head G2776 of the corner, G1137

And a stone G3037 of stumbling, G4348 and a rock G4073 of offense, G4625 even to them which G3739 stumble G4350 at the word, G3056 being disobedient: G544 whereunto G1519 G3739 also G2532 they were appointed. G5087
