Come and join us as we celebrate the 3rd Sunday of Lent. The gospel reading is a very strange one; Luke refers to the execution of some Galileans whose blood was mixed by Pilate with sacrifices to the Roman gods. The incident is a mystery historically, with no record from historians of the time, including Josephus. But one possibility is that Galileans, possibly the followers of Judas of Galilee, who, some twenty years before this, had taught that Jews should not pay tribute to the Romans, and of whom we learn that he drew after him a multitude of followers, could have been waylaid on instruction of Pilate and put to death as they were offering their sacrifices at one of the festivals; this might explain the idea that 'their blood was mingled with their sacrifices.' This is just one interpretation of the mysterious Gospel reading, and not necessarily the definitive one.
