I found nothing that refers to a mile-stone, but perhaps you are asking about a millstone. Matthew 18:6; Jesus is speaking on a parable about children. He says,"But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble (sin) , it would be better for him to have a great millstone tied around his neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea." Jesus is telling his listeners to guard the innocence of children or face a severe consequence. Jesus relates punishment for harming children by tying a millstone around the offender's neck to drown them. A millstone is a large flat stone weighing as much as a ton or more, which is used in a grist mill to pulverize wheat or other grain into flour for baking bread, etc.
