ABOUT THIS TIME JESUS WAS INFORMED THAT PILATE HAD MURDERED SOME PEOPLE FROM GALILEE

AS THEY WERE OFFERING SACRIFICES AT THE TEMPLE. 
 LUKE 13:1

DO YOU THINK THOSE GALILEANS WERE WORSE SINNERS THAN ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE FROM GALILEE?

JESUS ASKED 
 “IS THAT WHY THEY SUFFERED?” LUKE 13:2

NOT AT ALL! AND YOU WILL PERISH, TOO, UNLESS YOU REPENT FROM YOUR SINS AND TURN TO GOD. LUKE 13:3

AND WHAT ABOUT THE EIGHTEEN PEOPLE WHO DIED WHEN THE TOWER OF SILOAM FELL ON THEM? LUKE 13:4

NO, AND I TELL YOU AGAIN THAT 
 UNLESS YOU REPENT, YOU WILL PERISH TOO. LUKE 13:5
