Some who were present at that time told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices — a recent atrocity that the crowd uses to raise the theodicy question: were these people worse sinners than other Galileans? Jesus explicitly rejects the sin-disaster causation while converting the question into a summons: unless you repent, you too will all perish. Their sudden death is not evidence of special guilt but of the universal urgency to repent.
