1 Corinthians 1:23
1 Corinthians 1:22-25 The Message (MSG)
While Jews clamor for miraculous demonstrations and Greeks go in for philosophical wisdom, we go right on proclaiming Christ, the Crucified. Jews treat this like an anti-miracle—and Greeks pass it off as absurd. But to us who are personally called by God himself—both Jews and Greeks—Christ is God’s ultimate miracle and wisdom all wrapped up in one. Human wisdom is so cheap, so impotent, next to the seeming absurdity of God. Human strength can’t begin to compete with God’s “weakness.”

but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness

but we preach Christ crucified, [a message which is] to Jews a stumbling block [that provokes their opposition], and to Gentiles foolishness [just utter nonsense]
1 Corinthians 1:23 New Living Translation (NLT)
So when we preach that Christ was crucified, the Jews are offended and the Gentiles say it’s all nonsense.
