These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. These things have I spoken - Particularly what is mentioned in the two last Chapter s.
Be offended - Ἱνα μη σκανδαλισθητε, That ye should not be stumbled. May not fall away from the faith, nor receive any injury to your souls, as that man does to his body who stumbles, or falls over a stone, or block, in the way which he has not discovered.
