Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
Neither has Herod, for he sent Him back to us. As you can see, He has done nothing deserving of death.
No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.
no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back unto us; and behold, nothing worthy of death hath been done by him.
And Herod is of the same opinion, for he has sent him back to us; for, you see, he has done nothing for which I might put him to death.
Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
Here Pilate, who as a judge acquits Christ, is made the minister of His crucifixion. He is sent to Herod, sent back to Pilate, as it follows, Nor yet Herod, for I sent you to him, and behold nothing worthy of death is done unto him. They both refuse to pronounce Him guilty, yet for fear's sake, Pilate gratifies the cruel desires of the Jews.
Wherefore by the testimony of two men, Jesus is declared innocent, but the Jews His accusers brought forward no witness whom they could believe. See then how truth triumphs. Jesus is silent, and His enemies witness for Him; the Jews make loud cries, and not one of them corroborates their clamour.
Matthew Henry · Verses 13–25
The fear of man brings many into this snare, that they will do an unjust thing, against their consciences, rather than get into trouble. Pilate declares Jesus innocent, and has a mind to release him; yet, to please the people, he would punish him as an evil-doer. If no fault be found in him, why chastise him? Pilate yielded at length; he had not courage to go against so strong a stream. He delivered Jesus to their will, to be crucified.
