Change Your Hearts

13 At that time some people were there who told Jesus that Pilate [C Pontius Pilate, governor of Judea from ad 26 to 36; see 3:1] had killed some people from Galilee while they were worshiping. He mixed their blood with the blood of the animals they were sacrificing to God. Jesus answered, “Do you think ·this happened to them [L they suffered these things] because they were more sinful than all others from Galilee? No, I tell you. But unless you ·change your hearts and lives [repent], you will [L all] be destroyed as they were! [L Or] What about those eighteen people who died when the tower of Siloam fell on them? Do you think they were ·more sinful [more guilty; greater offenders] than all the others who live in Jerusalem? No, I tell you. But unless you ·change your hearts and lives [repent], you will all be destroyed too!”
