Luke 7:23

23 et beatus est quicumque non fuerit scandalizatus in me

Luke 7:23 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 7:23

And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
] The Arabic version renders it, "blessed is he that doubts not of me". The Persic and Ethiopic versions both add to the text, the former rendering the words thus, "blessed is he that is not brought into offence and doubt concerning me"; and the latter thus, "blessed are they who do not deny me, and are not offended in me": particular regard is had to the disciples of John, who both doubted of Christ as the Messiah, and were offended at his popularity and success; (See Gill on Matthew 11:6).

Luke 7:23 In-Context

21 in ipsa autem hora curavit multos a languoribus et plagis et spiritibus malis et caecis multis donavit visum

22 et respondens dixit illis euntes nuntiate Iohanni quae vidistis et audistis quia caeci vident claudi ambulant leprosi mundantur surdi audiunt mortui resurgunt pauperes evangelizantur

23 et beatus est quicumque non fuerit scandalizatus in me

24 et cum discessissent nuntii Iohannis coepit dicere de Iohanne ad turbas quid existis in desertum videre harundinem vento moveri

25 sed quid existis videre hominem mollibus vestimentis indutum ecce qui in veste pretiosa sunt et deliciis in domibus regum sunt
