1There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2And Jesus answered and said to them, "Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? 3I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. 4Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? 5I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish."
١ وَكَانَ حَاضِرًا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ قَوْمٌ يُخْبِرُونَهُ عَنِ ٱلْجَلِيلِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَلَطَ بِيلَاطُسُ دَمَهُمْ بِذَبَائِحِهِمْ. ٢فَأجَابَ يَسُوعُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَتَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْجَلِيلِيِّينَ كَانُوا خُطَاةً أَكْثَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْجَلِيلِيِّينَ لِأَنَّهُمْ كَابَدُوا مِثْلَ هَذَا؟ ٣كَلَّا! أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: بَلْ إِنْ لَمْ تَتُوبُوا فَجَمِيعُكُمْ كَذَلِكَ تَهْلِكُونَ. ٤أَوْ أُولَئِكَ ٱلثَّمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَقَطَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْبُرْجُ فِي سِلْوَامَ وَقَتَلَهُمْ، أَتَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ كَانُوا مُذْنِبِينَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلنَّاسِ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ؟ ٥كَلَّا! أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: بَلْ إِنْ لَمْ تَتُوبُوا فَجَمِيعُكُمْ كَذَلِكَ تَهْلِكُونَ».
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
