Luke 13:3
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?
No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.
4 Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam collapsed on them: Do you think that they were more sinful than all the others living in Jerusalem?
5 No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
