(Lesson 4452)(04-11-24) Luke 23:8-11
“And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time. And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him. Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing. And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.”
Today’s quote relates that when Pilate learned that Jesus was from Galilee, he sent Him to Herod Antipas, tetrarch of Galilee, who was also in Jerusalem at the time. Herod had long wanted to see Jesus, hoping to witness a miracle. He questioned Jesus but Jesus does not respond. The chief priests and scribes stand vehemently accusing Him. Disappointed by Jesus' refusal to answer, treating Him with contempt, Herod and his soldiers mocked Jesus. They dressed Him in a purple robe, and mocked His claim to be a king, and then sent Him back to Pilate.~
