JESUS BEFORE HEROD. (Luk 23:6-12)
sent him to Herod--hoping thus to escape the dilemma of an unjust condemnation or an unpopular release.
at Jerusalem . . . at that time--to keep the passover. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Herod's jurisdiction - Herod Antipas, a son of Herod the Great. This was the same Herod that put John the Baptist to death. Jesus had passed the most of his life in the part of the country where he ruled, and it was, therefore, considered that he belonged to his jurisdiction - that is, that it belonged to Herod, not to Pilate, to try this cause. |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Sent (ἀνέπεμψεν)
Lit., sent him up (ανα). Used of sending up to a higher court. Compare Act 25:21, of sending Paul to Caesar. It also means to send back, as in Luk 23:11, and Plm 1:11. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| He sent him to Herod - As his proper judge. |

| Herod's jurisdiction - The city of Nazareth, in which Christ had continued till he was thirty years of age, and that of Capernaum, in which he principally resided the last years of his life, were both in Lower Galilee, of which Herod Antipas was tetrarch. Pilate was probably glad of this opportunity to pay a little respect to Herod, whom it is likely he had irritated, and with whom he now wished to be friends. See Luk 23:12. |
6 When [1161] Pilate [4091] heard [191] of Galilee [1056], he asked [1905] whether [1487] the man [444] were [2076] a Galilaean [1057].
7 And [2532] as soon as he knew [1921] that [3754] he belonged [2076] unto [1537] Herod's [2264] jurisdiction [1849], he sent [375] him [846] to [4314] Herod [2264], who [5607] himself [846] also [2532] was [5607] at [1722] Jerusalem [2414] at [1722] that [5025] time [2250].
8 And [1161] when Herod [2264] saw [1492] Jesus [2424], he was exceeding [3029] glad [5463]: for [1063] he was [2258] desirous [2309] to see [1492] him [846] of [1537] a long [2425] season, because [1223] he had heard [191] many things [4183] of [4012] him [846]; and [2532] he hoped [1679] to have seen [1492] some [5100] miracle [4592] done [1096] by [5259] him [846].
9 Then [1161] he questioned [1905] with him [846] in [1722] many [2425] words [3056]; but [1161] he [846] answered [611] him [846] nothing [3762].
10 And [1161] the chief priests [749] and [2532] scribes [1122] stood [2476] and vehemently [2159] accused [2723] him [846].
11 And [1161] Herod [2264] with [4862] his [846] men of war [4753] set [1848] him [846] at nought [1848], and [2532] mocked [1702] him, and arrayed [4016] him [846] in a gorgeous [2986] robe [2066], and sent [375] him [846] again [375] to Pilate [4091].
12 And [1161] [3739] the same [1722] [846] day [2250] Pilate [4091] and [2532] Herod [2264] were made [1096] friends [5384] together [3326] [5037] [240]: for [1063] before [4391] they were [5607] at [1722] enmity [2189] between [4314] themselves [1438].
11 Which [3588] in time past [4218] was [890] to thee [4671] unprofitable [890], but [1161] now [3570] profitable [2173] to thee [4671] and [2532] to me [1698]:
11 And [1161] Herod [2264] with [4862] his [846] men of war [4753] set [1848] him [846] at nought [1848], and [2532] mocked [1702] him, and arrayed [4016] him [846] in a gorgeous [2986] robe [2066], and sent [375] him [846] again [375] to Pilate [4091].
21 But [1161] when Paul [3972] had appealed [1941] to be reserved [5083] [846] unto [1519] the hearing [1233] of Augustus [4575], I commanded [2753] him [846] to be kept [5083] till [2193] [3739] I might send [3992] him [846] to [4314] Caesar [2541].
12 And [1161] [3739] the same [1722] [846] day [2250] Pilate [4091] and [2532] Herod [2264] were made [1096] friends [5384] together [3326] [5037] [240]: for [1063] before [4391] they were [5607] at [1722] enmity [2189] between [4314] themselves [1438].
