Then said he unto the disciples,
It is impossible but that temptations to sin will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
All Commentaries on Luke 17:1 Go To Luke 17
Cyril of Alexandria
AD 444
Now there are two kinds of offenses, of which the one resist the glory of God, but the other serve only to cause a stumbling-block to the brethren. For the inventions of heresies, and every word that is spoken against the truth, are obstructions to the glory of God. Such offenses however do not seem to be mentioned here, but rather those which occur between friends and brethren, as strifes, slanders, and the like. Therefore He adds afterwards, If your brother trespass against you, rebuke him.
