But unless you repent, you will all perish similarly. 4And those eighteen upon whom the tower of Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they also were greater transgressors than all the men living in Jerusalem? 5No, I tell you. But if you do not repent, you will all perish similarly.”

Therefore, what do you say?” 6But they were saying this to test him, so that they might be able to accuse him. Then Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the earth.
