Jesus may have invented the word that eventually became, in English, “scandalize.” He invented it because it was funny. Is it translated as humorous in the Bible? Of course not. It is made as bland as possible. I say that Jesus invented it because the verb does not appear in any Greek texts before Jesus. There is a noun form that appears only in the Greek Old Testament, but the verb form originates in Jesus’s words.
