Lukas 23:7

Listen to Lukas 23:7
7 Und als er erfahren hatte, daß er aus dem Gebiet des Herodes sei, sandte er ihn zu Herodes, der auch selbst in jenen Tagen zu Jerusalem war.

Lukas 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.

Lukas 23:7 In-Context

5 Sie aber bestanden darauf und sagten: Er wiegelt das Volk auf, indem er durch ganz Judäa hin lehrt, anfangend von Galiläa bis hierher.
6 Als aber Pilatus von Galiläa hörte, fragte er, ob der Mensch ein Galiläer sei.
7 Und als er erfahren hatte, daß er aus dem Gebiet des Herodes sei, sandte er ihn zu Herodes, der auch selbst in jenen Tagen zu Jerusalem war.
8 Als aber Herodes Jesum sah, freute er sich sehr; denn er wünschte schon seit langer Zeit, ihn zu sehen, weil er vieles über ihn gehört hatte, und er hoffte, irgend ein Zeichen durch ihn geschehen zu sehen.
9 Er befragte ihn aber mit vielen Worten; er aber antwortete ihm nichts.
