At that time some of those present told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

Luke 13:1 · BSB

the Galilaeans1 parallel

The Galilaeans are frequently mentioned by Josephus as the most turbulent and seditious people , being upon all occasions ready to disturb the Roman authority. It is uncertain to what event our Lord refers; but is probable that they were the followers of Judas Gaulonitis , who opposed paying tribute to Caesar and submitting to the Roman government. A party of them coming to Jerusalem during one of the great festivals , and presenting their oblations in the court of the temple , Pilate treacherously sent a company of soldiers , who slew them , and "mingled their blood with their sacrifices."
