Lucas 23:6 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 23:6

When Pilate heard of Galilee
"The name of Galilee", as the Syriac and Persic versions read when that was mentioned, he asked;
the Ethiopic version says, the "Galilaeans"; some of which might be present, being come to the feast of the passover, and were very proper persons to inquire of: whether the man were a Galilean;
so Jesus was reputed to be: for though he was born at Bethlehem of Judah, he was brought up at Nazareth in Galilee, where he spent the greater part of his private life, and his public ministry was chiefly exercised in those parts; hence the Jews thought, that he came out of Galilee, and was a Galilean, ( John 7:41 John 7:52 ) and so he used to be called by Julian the apostate; and it seems, that the answer returned to Pilate was, that he was a Galilean; and so the Persic version adds, and they said, yes; for it follows,

Lucas 23:6 In-Context

4 Entonces Pilato declaró a los jefes de los sacerdotes y a la multitud:—No encuentro que este hombre sea culpable de nada.

5 Pero ellos insistían:—Con sus enseñanzas agita al pueblo por toda Judea. Comenzó en Galilea y ha llegado hasta aquí.

6 Al oír esto, Pilato preguntó si el hombre era galileo.

7 Cuando se enteró de que pertenecía a la jurisdicción de Herodes, se lo mandó a él, ya que en aquellos días también Herodes estaba en Jerusalén.

8 Al ver a Jesús, Herodes se puso muy contento; hacía tiempo que quería verlo por lo que oía acerca de él, y esperaba presenciar algún milagro que hiciera Jesús.
