Luke 13. Pilate murdered five Galileans and mixed their blood with their offering; a tower in Siloam fell and killed eighteen. To both, the question and the answer are the same: do you think they were worse sinners, worse offenders, than the others? I tell you, No - but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Neville uses it to break the link between suffering and desert. The bystanders on Sunset Boulevard would have said it served the old woman right for running across the street; the crowd in Luke said the Galileans had sinned in the past. It has nothing to do with it. What is asked for is not penance but a change of mind.
