[About this time Jesus was informed that Pilate had killed some people from Galilee as they were offering sacrifices at the temple. Why These Galileans were very likely some of the followers of Judas Gaulonitis or Judas of Galilee who endeavored to draw off the Jews from the Roman government and affirmed it was not lawful to give tribute to Caesar at which Pilate being enraged sent a band of soldiers and slew his followers who were come up to the feast of the passover as they were offering their sacrifices in the temple and so mixed their blood with the blood of the Passover lambs]. (Acts 5 37). Luke 13 2 And Jesus answering said unto them Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans because they suffered such things [Do you think those Galileans were worse sinners than all the other people just because they were killed] Luke 13 3 I tell you Nay but except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish.[Not at all You soul will perish also unless you repent of your sins and turn to God].Luke 13 4 Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and slew them think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem [What about the eighteen people who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them. Were they worse sinners Not at all they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time].Bad things happen to good people including Christians sometimes.
