Teaching Points Understanding InjusticeThis passage highlights the reality of injustice and suffering in the world. As believers, we are called to trust in God's sovereignty even when faced with seemingly senseless acts of violence. Repentance and Reflection Jesus uses this event to call for personal repentance. We should examine our own lives and ensure we are living in accordance with God's will, rather than focusing solely on the sins of others. The Role of Authority Pilate's actions remind us of the potential for abuse of power. Christians are encouraged to pray for leaders and seek justice in their communities. The Nature of Sacrifice The mixing of blood with sacrifices underscores the sacredness of worship and the seriousness of sin. It prompts us to consider the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus and its implications for our lives. Community and Communication The act of reporting to Jesus shows the importance of bringing concerns and questions to God. We are encouraged to engage in open dialogue with God and fellow believers about the challenges we face.XIII. (1) The Galileeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.--The incident is not related by Josephus or any other historian, but it was quite in harmony with Pilate's character. (See Note on Matthew 27:2.) We may fairly infer it to have originated in some outburst of zealous fanaticism, such as still characterised the followers of Judas of Galilee (Acts 5:37), while the pilgrims from that province were offering their sacrifices in the courts of the Temple, and to have been repressed with the same ruthless severity as he had shown in other tumults. It was probably one, at least, of the causes of the enmity between Herod and Pilate of which we read in Luke 23:12. Verses 1-9. - Signs of the times. The Lord continues his solemn warnings. Israel pictured in the parable of the barren fig tree. Verse 1. - There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices; better rendered, now there were present at that particular time; namely, when the Master was discoursing of the threatening signs of the times, and urging men to repent and to turn and make their peace with God while there was yet time, for a terrible crisis was impending on that doomed land. Some of those then present, probably Jerusalem Jews, specially told off to watch the great Teacher, struck with his grave foreboding tone, when he spoke of the present aspect of affairs, quoted to him a recent bloody fray which had taken place in the temple courts. "Yes, Master," these seemed to say, "we see there is a fierce hatred which is ever growing more intense between Jew and Roman. You know, for instance, what has just taken place in the city, only the victims in this case were Galilaeans, not scrupulous, righteous Jews. Is it not possible that these bloody deeds are simply punishments of men who are great sinners, as these doubtless were?" Such-like incidents were often now occurring under the Roman rule. This, likely enough, had taken place at some crowded Passover gathering, when a detachment of soldiers came down from the Castle of Antonia and had dealt a red-handed "justice" among the turbulent mob. Josephus relates several of the more formidable of such collisions between the Romans and the Jews. At one Passover he relates how three thousand Jews were butchered, and the temple courts were filled with dead corpses; at another of these feasts two thousand perished in like manner (see ' Ant.,' 17:9. 3; 20:5.3; and ' Bell. Jud.,' 2:5; 5:1). On another occasion disguised legionaries were sent by Pilate the governor with daggers among the Passover crowds (see 'Ant.,' 18:31). These wild and terrible collisions were of frequent occurrence in these sad days.Parallel Commentaries ... Greek Atἐν (en) Preposition Strong's 1722: In, on, among.
