Jesus: Tie a millstone around your neck Trump, Sessions, & Miller and jump into the sea... [View all]

Jesus' teaching is quoted in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and runs like this:

"...but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea."

A lot of good quotes have been dredged up this past week, but I hadn't seen this one yet.
