Lucas 23:7

7 Quando ficou sabendo que ele era da jurisdição de Herodes, enviou-o a Herodes, que também estava em Jerusalém naqueles dias.

Lucas 23:7 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 23:7

And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's
jurisdiction
The country which was under his power, and he had the government of; for Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, ( Luke 3:1 ) . This was Herod Antipas, the son of Herod the great, and the same that beheaded John the Baptist; wherefore as soon as Pilate found that Jesus was one of his province, immediately he sent him to Herod: to be examined, and to have his cause tried before him: and this he did partly, that he might be rid of this troublesome business; and partly that he might show to Herod what a regard he had to his jurisdiction, and power; and that he was unwilling to break in upon it, or usurp that to himself, which did not belong to him: the way from Pilate's hall, to the place where Herod was, is computed, by Adrichomius, to be about three hundred and fifty steps: who himself was also at Jerusalem at that time;
or "in those days"; the days of the passover; for Herod being born a Jew, and the son of a proselyte, was come to Jerusalem, at this time, to keep the feast of the passover.

Lucas 23:7 In-Context

5 Mas eles insistiam: “Ele está subvertendo o povo em toda a Judeia com os seus ensinamentos. Começou na Galileia e chegou até aqui”.

6 Ouvindo isso, Pilatos perguntou se Jesus era galileu.

7 Quando ficou sabendo que ele era da jurisdição de Herodes, enviou-o a Herodes, que também estava em Jerusalém naqueles dias.

8 Quando Herodes viu Jesus, ficou muito alegre, porque havia muito tempo queria vê-lo. Pelo que ouvira falar dele, esperava vê-lo realizar algum milagre.

9 Interrogou-o com muitas perguntas, mas Jesus não lhe deu resposta.
