σκανδαλ-ίζω,

cause to stumble, give offence or scandal to any one, τινα Ev.Matthew 5:29, Ev.Matthew 17:27, etc.: — Pass., to be made to stumble, take offence, ib. 26.33, etc.; ἔν τινι LXX Si. 9.5, al., Ev.Matthew 11:6, Ev.Matthew 26:31, etc.

Thayer's Expanded Definition

σκανδαλίζω; 1 aorist ἐσκανδαλισα; passive, present σκανδαλίζομαι; imperfect ἐσκανδαλιζομην; 1 aorist ἐσκανδαλίσθην (cf. Buttmann, 52 (45)); 1 future σκανδαλισθήσομαι; (σκάνδαλον); Vulg. scandalizo; Peshitto lSK) []; properly, to put a stumbling-block or impediment in the way, upon which another may trip and fall; to be a stumbling-block; in the N. T. always metaphorically, (R. V. to cause or make to stumble; A. V. to offend (cause to offend));

a. to entice to sin (Luth. ärgern, i. e. arg, bös machen): τινα, Matthew 5:29 (); f; Mark 9:42f, 45, 47; Luke 17:2; 1 Corinthians 8:13; passive Latinoffendor (A. V. to be offended), Vulg. scandalizor, Peshitto lSK []: Romans 14:21 (R G L Tr text); 2 Corinthians 11:29 (R. V. is made to stumble; cf. Winers Grammar, 153 (145)).

b. "to cause a person to begin to distrust and desert one whom he ought to trust and obey; to cause to fall away," and in the passive, to fall away (R. V. to stumble (cf. 'Teaching etc. 16, 5 [ET]; Hermas, vis. 4, 1, 3 [ET]; mand. 8, 10 [ET])): τινα, John 6:61; passive, Matthew 13:21; Matthew 24:10; Matthew 26:33; Mark 4:17; Mark 14:29; (John 16:1); ἐν τίνι (A.

Since the man who stumbles or whose foot gets entangled feels annoyed, σκανδαλίζω means c. to cause one to feel displeasure at a thing; to make indignant: τινα, passive, to be displeased, indignant (A. V. offended), Matthew 15:12. The verb σκανδαλίζω is found neither in secular authors nor in the Sept., but only in the relies of Aq.'s version of the O.

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

(1) From the root meaning ";set,"; ";place";, this verb comes to mean ";send,"; as in P Tebt I. 24.49 (B.C. 117) τῶν δὲ σταλ ̣έν [των ] διαφόρων, BGU III. 821.6 (ii/A.D.) πάν ̣τ ̣ε ̣ς ̣ γὰρ ἐστάλη [σα ]ν, P Oxy XVI. 1843.18 (vi/vii A.D.) τὴν σταλεῖσάν μοι παρ᾽ αὐτῆς μίαν ζυγὴν τῶν σαβάνων, ";one pair of linen garments sent me by you"; (Edd.).

(2) Hence ";bring together,"; ";make compact,"; as of setting or shortening the sails of a ship (Hom. Il. i. 433, Od. iii. 11), from which it is a natural transition to the more general meaning ";restrain,"; ";check,"; and in the mid. ";draw or shrink back from"; anything, whether from fear (Hesych. : στέλλεται · φοβεῖται) or any other motive, as in Malachi 2:5 ἀπὸ προσώπου ὀνόματός μου στέλλεσθαι αὐτόν, 3 Maccabees 1:19 αἱ δὲ καὶ προσαρτίως ἐσταλμέναι (";die sich ganz zurückgezogen halten,"; Kautsch) : cf. Hipp. Vet. med. 10 (ed. Foesius) οὔτ᾽ ἂν ἀπόσχοιντο ὧν ἐπιθυμεοῦσιν, οὔτε στείλαιντο, and the old gloss quoted in Steph. Thesaur. s.v. where στέλλ ̣εσθαι is explained by ἀφίστασθαι ἀναχωρεῖν.

(3) This gives the clue to the meaning ";hold aloof from,"; ";avoid,"; in the two NT occurrences of the verb, 2 Thessalonians 3:6 (Vg ut subtrahatis vos), and 2 Corinthians 8:20 (Vg devitantes). The compd. ὑποστέλλω is used in the same sense in Acts 20:20; Acts 20:27, Galatians 2:12, Hebrews 10:38.

(4) We may add two exx. of στέλλλομαι = ";set out"; from the inscrr.—Magn 20.8 ἔδοξεν δέ τισιν αὐτῶν ἐς τὰν Ἀσίαν ἀποικίαν στείλασθαι ̣, and Kaibel 691.4 πρώτην ὁδὸν δὲ στέλλομαι πρὸς Ἀίδαν.
