Lucas 23:6

6 Cuando Pilato oyó esto, preguntó si el hombre era galileo.

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 Y Pilato dijo a los principales sacerdotes y a la multitud: No encuentro delito en este hombre

5 Pero ellos insistían, diciendo: El alborota al pueblo, enseñando por toda Judea, comenzando desde Galilea hasta aquí.

6 Cuando Pilato oyó esto, preguntó si el hombre era galileo.

7 Y al saber que Jesús pertenecía a la jurisdicción de Herodes, le remitió a Herodes, que también estaba en Jerusalén en aquellos días.

8 Herodes, al ver a Jesús se alegró en gran manera, pues hacía mucho tiempo que quería verle por lo que había oído hablar de El, y esperaba ver alguna señal que El hiciera.
