Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 23:10-12

Luke 23:10-12. And the chief priests and scribes Whose malice had brought them to attend him thither; stood In the presence of the king; and vehemently accursed him Doubtless as an enemy to Cesar, and guilty of seditious practices, crimes which they had laid to his charge before Pilate. Observe, reader, it is no new thing for good men and good ministers, who are real and useful friends to the civil government, to be falsely accused as factious and seditious, and enemies to the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 23:1-12

155. Before Pilate and Herod (Matthew 27:11-14; Mark 15:2-5; Luke 23:1-12; John 18:28-38)Pilate, the governor of the area, usually lived in the provincial capital Caesarea, but he came to Jerusalem during Jewish festivals to help maintain order. His official residence and administration centre in Jerusalem was called the praetorium. The Jewish leaders, wanting to have Jesus dealt with and out of the way before the festival started, took him to Pilate early in the morning (Luke 23:1; John... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 23:11

And Herod with his soldiers set him at naught, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate.Herod's conduct in this episode suggests what many in all ages have done with regard to Jesus; they have set him at naught. Herod, in the false security afforded by his palatial residence, his bodyguard of soldiers, his wealth and human eminence, saw nothing in the lowly Jesus that he should either honor or respect; but ironically, that evil man's place in history is due... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 23:11

Luke 23:11. And Herod with his men of war set him at nought,— Herod, finding himself disappointed, Luk 23:9 ordered Christ to be clothed with an old robe, in colour like those which kings used to wear, and permitted his attendants to insult him, perhaps with an intention to provoke him to work a miracle, though it should have been of a hurtful kind. Our Lord's being dressed in this manner by Herod's order, shews that the priests had accused him here also of having assumed the titles and honours... read more

If this mean (as sometimes) of shining white, this being the royal color among the Jews, it may have been in derision of His claim to be "King of the Jews." But if so, "He in reality honored Him, as did Pilate with His true title blazoned on the cross" [BENGEL]. sent him again to Pilate—instead of releasing him as... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 23:8-12

5. Jesus’ appearance before Herod 23:8-12Luke alone recorded this aspect of Jesus’ Roman trial. He probably did so because Herod Antipas found no basis for condemning Jesus either. Thus Luke cited two official witnesses to Jesus’ innocence for his readers’ benefit (cf. Deuteronomy 19:15). read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 23:10-12

The accusations of the Jewish leaders (cf. Luke 22:66) and the insult that Herod must have felt at being rebuffed resulted in more contempt and mocking for Jesus (cf. Isaiah 53:7). This shows Herod’s true attitude toward Jesus.Herod put an elegant (Gr. lampros, cf. Acts 10:30; James 2:2-3; Revelation 15:6; Revelation 19:8) robe over Jesus that implied His royalty, but he sent Him back to Pilate as a king in bondage to Rome. This may or may not have been the same robe that Pilate’s soldiers... read more

Darby's Synopsis of the New Testament - Luke 23:11

23:11 back (a-23) Remitted is the technical word for sending to one's proper jurisdiction. So, ver. 11, 'sent back' alludes probably to jurisdiction, as they were in strife about it. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 23:1-56

Trial Before Pilate and Herod. The Crucifixion and Burial1-5. The trial before Pilate begins (Matthew 27:1-2, Matthew 27:11-14; Mark 15:1-5; John 18:28-38). See on Mt and Jn.6-12. Trial before Herod (peculiar to Lk). ’By sending Jesus to Herod the clever Roman gained two ends at once. First, he got rid of the business which was imposed on him, and then he took the first step towards a reconciliation with Herod (Luke 23:12). The cause of their quarrel had probably been some conflict of... read more
