Contextual Overview

1 Then they gathered Jesus up and marched him out to meet the Roman governor, Pilate. 2When they arrived, they told Pilate, "This man is trying to claim he is the true king of this land and he tells people not to pay taxes to Rome." 3Pilate looked down at Jesus and said, "Are you the king of these Jews?"Jesus looked him in the eye and said, "You spoke the words." 4Pilate turned to the religious rioters and said, "This man has done nothing wrong." 5The uproar got even louder as they all shouted, "He causes problems everywhere he goes. He is insolent to our teachings. He started in Galilee and has worked his way here." 6"If he's from Galilee, send him to Herod. He's in town. 7This man is his problem, not mine." Pilate said. 8Now Herod was glad to meet the man he'd heard so much about. He wanted to see a miracle. 9But when he questioned him, Jesus stood stoically and never opened his mouth. 10The religious rabble stood by and yelled their accusations at Jesus and tried to get Herod riled up.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction,.... The country which was under his power, and he had the government of; for Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, Luke 3:1. This was Herod Antipas, the son of Herod the great, and the same that beheaded John the Baptist; wherefore as soon as Pilate found that Jesus was one of his province, immediately he sent him to Herod: to be examined, and to have his cause tried before him: and this he did partly, that he might be rid of this troublesome business; and partly that he might show to Herod what a regard he had to his jurisdiction, and power; and that he was unwilling to break in upon it, or usurp that to himself, which did not belong to him: the way from Pilate's hall, to the place where Herod was, is computed, by Adrichomius, to be about three hundred and fifty steps:

who himself was also at Jerusalem at that time; or "in those days"; the days of the passover; for Herod being born a Jew, and the son of a proselyte, was come to Jerusalem, at this time, to keep the feast of the passover.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Herod’s jurisdiction - Herod Antipas, a son of Herod the Great. This was the same Herod that put John the Baptist to death. Jesus had passed the most of his life in the part of the country where he ruled, and it was, therefore, considered that he belonged to his jurisdiction - that is, that it belonged to Herod, not to Pilate, to try this cause.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 23:7. Herod's jurisdiction — The city of Nazareth, in which Christ had continued till he was thirty years of age, and that of Capernaum, in which he principally resided the last years of his life, were both in Lower Galilee, of which Herod Antipas was tetrarch. Pilate was probably glad of this opportunity to pay a little respect to Herod, whom it is likely he had irritated, and with whom he now wished to be friends. See Luke 23:12.
