Luke Chapter 23, Verse 7
From BibleWiki
7: και επιγνους οτι εκ της εξουσιας ηρωδου εστιν ανεπεμψεν αυτον προς ηρωδην οντα και αυτον εν ιεροσολυμοις εν ταυταις ταις ημεραις
7: 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.
7: And when he understood that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, he
sent him away to Herod, who was also himself at Jerusalem in those days.
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.
