This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

11. ἐξουθενήσας. Treating Him not as a criminal, but only as a person worthy of contempt. Isa 53:3.

σὺν τοῖς στρατεύμασιν αὐτοῦ. “With his armies,” i.e. with his soldiers.

ἐσθῆτα λαμπράν. Literally, “bright raiment,” Act 10:30. Probably a white festal garment. Vulg[401] veste albâ.

[401] Vulg. Vulgate.

ἀνέπεμψεν. As before—remisit in forum apprehensionis. This involved a second distinct acquittal of our Lord from every political charge brought against Him. Had He in any way been guilty of either (1) perverting the people, (2) forbidding to pay tribute, or (3) claiming to be a king, it would have been Herod’s duty, and still more his interest, to punish Him. His dismissal of the case was a deliberate avowal of His innocence.
