Luke 23:3-12

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 23:11

Herod with his men of war - With his soldiers, or his body-guard. It is probable that in traveling he had “a guard” to attend him constantly.Set him at nought - Treated him with contempt and ridicule.A gorgeous robe - A white or shining robe, for this is the meaning of the original. The Roman princes wore “purple” robes, and “Pilate,” therefore, put such a robe on Jesus.

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 23:12

Made friends together ... - What had been the cause of their quarrel is unknown. It is commonly supposed that it was Pilate’s slaying the Galileans in Jerusalem, as related in Luke 13:1-2. The occasion of their reconciliation seems to have been the civility and respect which Pilate showed to Herod in this case. It was not because they were united in “hating” Jesus, as is often the case with wicked people, for Pilate was certainly desirous of releasing him, and “both” considered him merely as an... read more

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

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.

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.
