John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 3:19

But Herod the tetrarch being reproved by him ,.... By John, as the Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions add: for Herodias his brother Philip's wife ; for taking her to wife, whilst his brother Philip was living. The account, which the Jewish chronologer F24 Ganz. Tzemach David, par, 1. fol. 25. 2. gives, of this Herod, and of this fact of his, and John's reproving him for it, and the consequence of it, perfectly agrees with this of the evangelist.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 3:2

Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests - Caiaphas was the son-in-law of Annas or Ananias, and it is supposed that they exercised the high priest's office by turns. It is likely that Annas only was considered as high priest; and that Caiaphas was what the Hebrews termed משנה כהן cohen mishneh , or כהנים סגן sagan cohanim , the high priest's deputy, or ruler of the temple.

What shall we do then? - The preaching of the Baptist had been accompanied with an uncommon effusion of that Spirit which convinces of sin, righteousness, and judgment. The people who heard him now earnestly begin to inquire what they must do to be saved? They are conscious that they are exposed to the judgments of the Lord, and they wish to escape from the coming wrath. read more
