Luke 23:15

15 No, nor Herod neither. For, I sent you to him: and behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him.

Luke 23:15 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 23:15

No, nor yet Herod
Who was a Jew, and better versed in their religious affairs, and understood the nature of such charges, and the amount of them, and what was sufficient proof in such cases; and who had also examined Jesus, and that in their presence, and had heard all that they had to accuse him with, and yet found no fault in him of any such kind, as to condemn him to death for it: for I sent you to him;
along with Jesus, to make your allegations against him good before him; or, "I sent him to him", as the Syriac version reads; that is, Jesus to him, as the Persic version expresses, he being of his country, and belonging to his jurisdiction; or, "he sent him back to us"; as the Arabic version reads, and three of Beza's copies: that is, Herod, after he had examined Jesus, and found no fault in him, sent him again to us; not being able to make out any crime against him, or to pass any judgment on the matter, for it follows; and lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him;
or "by him": the sense is, either that it appeared to Herod, that Christ had done nothing that deserved death; or that nothing was done to him by Herod, which showed that he thought he was worthy of it; since he passed no sentence on him, nor ordered him to be scourged, nor delivered him into the hands of an executioner, or to be imprisoned until things could be cleared up.

Luke 23:15 In-Context

13 And Pilate, calling together the chief priests and the magistrates and the people,
14 Said to them: You have presented unto me this man as one that perverteth the people. And behold I, having examined him before you, find no cause in this man, in those things wherein you accuse him
15 No, nor Herod neither. For, I sent you to him: and behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him.
16 I will chastise him therefore and release him.
17 Now of necessity he was to release unto them one upon the feast day.
