Exegesis
The main clause resumes with dokeite {δοκεῖτε | do-keî-te} ‘do you think’, introducing a content clause via hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} ‘that’, where autoi egenonto {αὐτοὶ ἐγένοντο | au-toí e-gé-non-to} ‘they became’ links to opheiletai {ὀφειλέται | o-phei-lé-tai} ‘debtors’ as predicate nominative, with para pantas tous anthropous tous katoikountas Ierousalem {παρὰ πάντας τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ἰερουσαλήμ | par-á pán-tas toùs án-thrō-pous toùs ka-toi-koûn-tas Ie-rou-sa-lēm} conveying comparison. The structure shifts from concrete tragedy to a probing question, highlighting that suffering does not imply greater guilt.
In context — Luke 13:4
Or consider those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think they became debtors more than all the people dwelling in Jerusalem?
