Commentary

Commentary on Luke 13:4

Theological / Devotional

Tower in Siloam. Probably connected with the Pool of Siloam, and no doubt part of the fortifications system of Jerusalem. Concerning the Pool of Siloam see Vol. I, p. 120; Vol. II, p. 87; and on 2 Kings 20:20; Nehemiah 3:15; John 9:7.

Sinners. Greek opheiletai, literally, “debtors”; hence used here in the sense of “offenders”; not hamartoloi, “sinners,” as in verse 2 (cf. Matthew 6:12; Luke 7:41).
