1 Now° on the same° occasion° there were some° present° who reported° to Him about° the Galileans° whose° blood° aPilate° had Imixed° with their sacrifices°. 2 And Jesus said° to them, aDo you suppose° that these° Galileans° were [greater] sinners° than° all° [other] Galileans° because° they suffered° this° [fate]? 3 I tell° you, no°, but unless°° you Irepent°, you will all° likewise° perish°. 4 Or° do you suppose° that those° eighteen° on whom° the tower° in aSiloam° fell° and killed° them were [worse] Ibculprits° than° all° the men° who live° in Jerusalem°? 5 I tell° you, no°, but unless°° you repent°, you will all° likewise° perish°.”
