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 Então Pilatos disse aos chefes dos sacerdotes e à multidão: “Não encontro motivo para acusar este homem”.

5 Mas eles insistiam: “Ele está subvertendo o povo em toda a Judeia com os seus ensinamentos. Começou na Galileia e chegou até aqui”.

6 Ouvindo isso, Pilatos perguntou se Jesus era galileu.

7 Quando ficou sabendo que ele era da jurisdição de Herodes, enviou-o a Herodes, que também estava em Jerusalém naqueles dias.

8 Quando Herodes viu Jesus, ficou muito alegre, porque havia muito tempo queria vê-lo. Pelo que ouvira falar dele, esperava vê-lo realizar algum milagre.
