Context of Luke 13:3

1Now there were some present at that very season who told him of the Galilæans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2And he answered and said unto them, Think ye that these Galilæans were sinners above all the Galilæans, because they have suffered these things?
