Contextual Overview
1 THEN the whole company of them rose up, and brought him to Pilate; 2 And began to accuse him, saying, We found this man misleading our people, and forbidding to pay the head-tax to Caesar; and he says concerning himself that he is a King, even the Christ. 3 Pilate asked him and said, Are you the king of the Jews? He said to him, You say that. 4 Then Pilate said to the high priests and the people, I cannot find any fault against this man. 5 But they shouted and said, He has stirred up our people, teaching throughout Judaea, and beginning from Galilee even to this place. 6 When Pilate heard the name Galilee, he asked if the man was a Galilean. 7 And when he knew that he was under the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him to Herod, because he was in Jerusalem in those days. 8 When Herod saw Jesus he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle by him. 9 And he asked him many words; but Jesus gave him no answer. 10 But the high priests and the scribes stood, and accused him bitterly.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
When Pilate heard of Galilee,.... "The name of Galilee", as the Syriac and Persic versions read when that was mentioned,
he asked; the Ethiopic version says, the "Galilaeans"; some of which might be present, being come to the feast of the passover, and were very proper persons to inquire of:
whether the man were a Galilean; so Jesus was reputed to be: for though he was born at Bethlehem of Judah, he was brought up at Nazareth in Galilee, where he spent the greater part of his private life, and his public ministry was chiefly exercised in those parts; hence the Jews thought, that he came out of Galilee, and was a Galilean, John 7:41 and so he used to be called by Julian the apostate; and it seems, that the answer returned to Pilate was, that he was a Galilean; and so the Persic version adds, and they said, yes; for it follows,
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Whether he were a Galilean - He asked this because, if he was, he properly belonged to Herodâs jurisdiction, who reigned over Galilee.
