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 Pilato se dirigió a los principales sacerdotes y a la multitud y les dijo:
—¡No encuentro ningún delito en este hombre!

5 Pero insistían:
—Con sus enseñanzas causa disturbios por donde va, en toda Judea, desde Galilea hasta Jerusalén.

6 —Ah, ¿es galileo? —preguntó Pilato.

7 Cuando le dijeron que sí, Pilato lo mandó a Herodes Antipas, porque Galilea estaba bajo la jurisdicción de Herodes, y dio la casualidad de que se encontraba en Jerusalén en ese momento.

8 Herodes se alegró mucho por la oportunidad de ver a Jesús, porque había oído hablar de él y hacía tiempo que quería verlo realizar un milagro.
