And if your eye offend you, pluck it out, and cast it from you: it is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
All Commentaries on Matthew 18:9 Go To Matthew 18
Rabanus Maurus
AD 856
Scandal (offence) is a Greek word, which we may call a stumbling-block, or afall, or hitting of the foot. He then scandalizes his brother, who by word ordeed amiss gives him occasion of falling.
