czy jest cos lepszego niz "offended". Nie wiem dokladnie co "narazic" sie oznacza. Wolalabym cos formalnego a nie np. "to step on someone's toes."

John fell/ran afoul of Pawel
That's the best formal solution I can think of. You might consider: John got into Pawel's bad books, or John fell out of favor with Pawel.
