Footnotes

  1. 3 Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.
  2. 4 Jesus did not want his hearers to think that tragedy was necessarily a judgment on these people because they were worse sinners.
  3. 5 Jesus was stressing that all stand at risk of death, if they do not repent and receive life.
  4. 6 Or “you will all likewise perish,” but this could be misunderstood to mean that they would perish by the same means as the Galileans. Jesus’ point is that apart from repentance all will perish.
