¹²当时 ，门徒 进前来 对他 说 ：法利赛人 听见 这话 ，不服（原文是跌倒 ），你知道 么？

¹²Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

¹² Verse 12. The Pharisees were offended] None so liable to take

offence as formalists and hypocrites, when you attempt to take

away the false props from the one, and question the sincerity of

the other. Besides, a Pharisee must never be suspected of

ignorance, for they are the men, and wisdom must die with them!
