and“ A stone of stumbling And a rock of offense.” They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.

but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness,

So they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them,“ A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.”

And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.”

Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother,“ Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against

And he brought them out and said,“ Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”So they said,“ Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And immediately he and all his family were baptized.Now when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them; and he rejoiced, having believed in God with all his household.

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son.He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

Now behold, one came and said to Him,“ Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?”So He said to him,“ Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.

What do I still lack?”

Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.”Then they said to Him,“ What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”Jesus answered and said to them,“ This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”
