Matthew 18:6

But whoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

All Commentaries on Matthew 18:6 Go To Matthew 18

Augustine of Hippo

AD 430

“Whoso offendeth one of these little ones,” that is so humble as He would have his disciples to be, by not obeying, or by opposing,(as the Apostle says of Alexander, ) “it were better for him that a mill-stone should be hanged about his neck, and he be drowned in the depths of the sea,” that is, it were better for him that desire of the things of the world, to which the blind and foolish are tied down, should sink him by its load to destruction.
