Jesus' disciples, perhaps seeing the countenance of the Pharisees, and hearing the words privately murmured, knew that His doctrine gave them offense.

The disciples knew that the Pharisees, by their influence, could prove formidable enemies, so would have thought it prudent to conciliate them. The Pharisees had taken offense, because the doctrine of Christ was subversive of their traditional customs, regarding frequent washings.<ref>Robert Witham, ''Annotations on the New Testament of Jesus Christ.''

Analysis
[edit]Jesus' disciples, perhaps seeing the countenance of the Pharisees, and hearing the words privately murmured, knew that His doctrine gave them offense. Also the disciples may not have understood, and were looking for a further explanation seeing that Jesus' doctrine appeared to be opposed to the law of Moses. The disciples knew that the Pharisees, by their influence, could prove formidable enemies, so would have thought it prudent to conciliate them. The Pharisees had taken offense, because the doctrine of Christ was subversive of their traditional customs, regarding frequent washings.[1][2]
Commentary from the Church Fathers
[edit]Jerome: "In one of the Lord’s discourses the whole superstition of Jewish observances had been cut down. They placed their whole religion in using or abstaining from certain meats."[3]
Chrysostom: "When the Pharisees heard the things that went before, they made no reply to them, because He had so mightily overthrown them, not only refuting their arguments, but detecting their fraud, but they, not the multitudes, were offended at them; Then came his disciples unto him and said, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended after they heard this saying?"[3]
Jerome: "As this word ‘scandalum’ (offence or stumblingblock) is of such frequent use in ecclesiastical writings, we will shortly explain it. We might render it in Latin, ‘offendiculum,’ or ‘ruina,’ or ‘impactio;’ and so when we read, Whosoever shall scandalize, we understand, Whoso by word or deed has given an occasion of falling to any."[3]
