17 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
2 It
were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he
cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
Apocalypse Revealed, by Emanuel Swedenborg, [1766], tr. by John Whitehead [1912], at sacred-texts.com
...[3] Since the truth of the Word adulterated is signified by "the millstone," and by "the sea," hell, the Lord therefore says: He that shall offend one of the little ones that believe in Me, it were better for him that an ass millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were immersed into the depth of the sea (Matt. 18:6). It is called "a millstone" in Mark 9:42; Luke 17:2.
