Luke 13:1

At that time some of those present told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

2 To this He replied, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered this fate?

3 No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
