Wesley's Notes for Luke 23:6

23:4 Then said Pilate - After having heard his defence - I find no fault in this man - I do not find that he either asserts or attempts any thing seditious or injurious to Cesar.

23:5 He stirreth up the people, beginning from Galilee - Probably they mentioned Galilee to alarm Pilate, because the Galileans were notorious for sedition and rebellion.

23:7 He sent him to Herod - As his proper judge.

23:8 He had been long desirous to see him - Out of mere curiosity.
