Ταῦτα λελάληκα ὑμῖν, I have warned you of persecution, and have told you of the encouragements you will have, ἵνα μὴ σκανδαλισθῆτε, “that ye be not staggered,” or stumbled, i.e., that the troubles that fall upon you may not induce you to apostatise. See Thayer and Parkhurst, and Wetstein on Matthew 5:29. Cf. also Matthew 11:6.
