# Or those This is Jesus' second example of people who suffered. Alternate translation: "Or consider those" or "Think about those" # eighteen people "18 people" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-numbers]]) # Siloam This is the name of an area in Jerusalem. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]]) # do you think they were worse sinners ... Jerusalem? "does this prove that they were more sinful ... Jerusalem?" Jesus uses this question to challenge the understanding of the people. # they were worse sinners The crowd assumed that they died in this terrible way because they were especially sinful. This could be explicitly stated. Alternate translation: "they died because they were worse sinners" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]]) # other men "other people." The word here is the general term for a person. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-gendernotations]])
