Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 23:4-9
Luke 23:4-9. Then said Pilate After having heard his defence. See on Matthew 27:11-14; and Mark 15:2-5. I find no fault in this man I do not find that he either attempts or asserts any thing injurious to Cesar. And they were the more fierce The priests were not disconcerted or abashed by the public declaration, which the governor, in obedience to conscience and truth, made of the prisoner’s innocence; for they persisted in their accusations with more vehemence than before, affirming... read more

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 23:8
Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was a long time desirous to see him, because he had heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.Luke alone recorded the "friendly" warning of the Pharisees to Jesus that "Herod would fain kill thee" (Luke 13:31); and it was fully in keeping with Luke's thoroughness and dependability as a historian that he should have included this incident, proving, absolutely, that the Pharisees who thus addressed Jesus were lying.... read more

This was Herod Antipas, the slayer of John the Baptist. He was at that time living in open incest with that princess Herodias concerning whom the Baptist had administered the public rebuke which had led to his arrest and subsequent execution. Godet graphically sums up the situation: "Jesus was to Herod... read more
