Contextual Overview

1 And rising up, all the multitude of them led Him before Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse Him, saying, We found this One perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying Himself to be a king, Christ. 3 And Pilate questioned Him, saying, Are you the king of the Jews? And answering, him, He said, You say it . 4 And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, I find nothing blameable in this man. 5 But they insisted, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to here. 6 And hearing Galilee, Pilate asked if the man is a Galilean. 7 And knowing that He is from Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him up to Herod, he also being in Jerusalem in these days. 8 And seeing Jesus, Herod greatly rejoiced, for he was wishing to see Him for a long time, because of hearing many things about Him. And he hoped to see some miraculous sign being brought about by Him. 9 And he questioned Him in many words. But He answered him not a thing. 10 And the chief priests and the scribes stood fiercely accusing Him.

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 Herod’s jurisdiction, who reigned over Galilee.
