Context: The Greek word μύλος appears in the New Testament primarily in metaphorical contexts. It is used to describe a large, heavy stone used in mills for grinding grain into flour. The imagery of a millstone is employed by Jesus in the Gospels to convey the seriousness of leading others into sin. In Matthew 18:6 (BSB), Jesus states, "But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea." This vivid illustration underscores the gravity of causing spiritual harm to others, particularly those who are vulnerable or new in faith.
