Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
Matthew 18:7 — KJV
Offences. That is, “things that cause a person to stumble” (see on ch. 5:29).
It must needs be. That is, “it is necessary,” or “it is unavoidable” that occasions for stumbling should come. “Offences” are not “necessary” in the purposes and plans of God, but simply impossible to avoid, men being what they are (see DA 438; cf. Luke 17:1).
Woe to that man. That is, to the man who, by precept or example, leads others to err or discourages them from following in the footsteps of Jesus.
