Lucas 23:7

7 Cuando se enteró de que pertenecía a la jurisdicción de Herodes, se lo mandó a él, ya que en aquellos días también Herodes estaba en Jerusalén.

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 Pero ellos insistían:—Con sus enseñanzas agita al pueblo por toda Judea. Comenzó en Galilea y ha llegado hasta aquí.

6 Al oír esto, Pilato preguntó si el hombre era galileo.

7 Cuando se enteró de que pertenecía a la jurisdicción de Herodes, se lo mandó a él, ya que en aquellos días también Herodes estaba en Jerusalén.

8 Al ver a Jesús, Herodes se puso muy contento; hacía tiempo que quería verlo por lo que oía acerca de él, y esperaba presenciar algún milagro que hiciera Jesús.

9 Lo acosó con muchas preguntas, pero Jesús no le contestaba nada.
