Luca 23:9 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 23:9

Then he questioned with him in many words
Or talked very much to him, inquiring who he was, whether John the Baptist, or no; whether it was true that he had wrought such miracles he had heard of, and how he wrought them, and by what power he performed them, and how he came by it; and used many arguments to persuade him to work a miracle at that time: but he answered him nothing;
would not give him one word in return to his many words, nor work any miracle in his presence; he answered him neither by words nor deeds; he would not indulge his curiosity, though he might have obtained his liberty by it.

Luca 23:9 In-Context

7 E saputo ch’egli era della giurisdizione d’Erode, lo rimandò a Erode ch’era anch’egli a Gerusalemme in que’ giorni.

8 Erode, come vide Gesù, se ne rallegrò grandemente, perché da lungo tempo desiderava vederlo, avendo sentito parlar di lui; e sperava di vedergli fare qualche miracolo.

9 E gli rivolse molte domande, ma Gesù non gli rispose nulla.

10 Or i capi sacerdoti e gli scribi stavan là, accusandolo con veemenza.

11 Ed Erode co’ suoi soldati, dopo averlo vilipeso e schernito, lo vestì di un manto splendido, e lo rimandò a Pilato.
