By now it was early morning, and the Jews did not enter the Praetorium, to avoid being defiled and unable to eat the Passover. / So Pilate went out to them and asked, “What accusation are you bringing against this man?” / “If He were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed Him over to you.” ... <a href="/acts/4-27.htm">Acts 4:27</a> In fact, this is the very city where Herod and Pontius Pilate conspired with the Gentiles and the people of Israel against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed. <a href="/acts/13-1.htm">Acts 13:1</a> Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch), and Saul. <a href="/matthew/2-1.htm">Matthew 2:1-12</a> After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, / asking, “Where is the One who has been born King of the Jews?

King Josiah went out to confront him, but Neco faced him and killed him at Megiddo. / From Megiddo his servants carried his body in a chariot, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah, anointed him, and made him king in place of his father. <a href="/2_chronicles/35-20.htm">2 Chronicles 35:20-24</a> After all this, when Josiah had set the temple in order, Neco king of Egypt marched up to fight at Carchemish by the Euphrates, and Josiah went out to confront him. / But Neco sent messengers to him, saying, “What is the issue between you and me, O king of Judah? I have not come against you today, but I am fighting another dynasty, and God has told me to hurry.

Herod's jurisdiction over Galilee is significant, as it reflects the Roman practice of regional governance. Herod Antipas, son of Herod the Great, is known for his role in the execution of John the Baptist (<a href="/mark/6-14.htm">Mark 6:14-29</a>). This jurisdictional transfer highlights the political maneuvering of Pilate, who sought to avoid responsibility for Jesus' fate.he sent Him to Herod Pilate's decision to send Jesus to Herod can be seen as an attempt to pass the responsibility of judgment. This act also reflects the strained relationship between Pilate and Herod, which is later reconciled through this interaction (<a href="/luke/23-12.htm">Luke 23:12</a>). The sending of Jesus to Herod fulfills the prophecy of <a href="/psalms/2-2.htm">Psalm 2:2</a>, where rulers gather against the Lord's Anointed. It also demonstrates the fulfillment of Jesus' prediction that He would be handed over to the Gentiles (<a href="/luke/18-32.htm">Luke 18:32</a>).who himself was in Jerusalem at that time Herod's presence in Jerusalem during the Passover festival is significant, as it was customary for Jewish leaders to be in the city for major feasts. This detail underscores the providential timing of events leading to the crucifixion. Herod's presence in Jerusalem also provides a rare opportunity for him to encounter Jesus, whom he had long desired to see (<a href="/luke/9-9.htm">Luke 9:9</a>).
