Luke Chapter 3 verse 19 Holy Bible

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(19-20) But Herod the tetrarch.--See Notes on Matthew 14:3-5. St. Luke's anticipation of the close of the Baptist's history supplies a curious instance of an arrangement which was obviously deliberate. It seemed to him better to complete the account of the Baptist's ministry here than to bring in the account of the imprisonment as an episode later on. It coincides in part with St. John's arrangement (John 3:24).For all the evils which Herod had done.--The marriage with Herodias is conspicuous as the Tetrarch's one great crime; but the sensual, crafty character of the man, with his fox-like nature (Luke 13:32), must have made any preaching of "righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come" as much a personal rebuke to him as it was to Felix (Acts 24:25), and caused him also to tremble.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekButδὲ (de)ConjunctionStrong's 1161: A primary particle; but, and, etc.when he rebukedἐλεγχόμενος (elenchomenos)Verb - Present Participle Middle or Passive - Nominative Masculine SingularStrong's 1651: (a) I reprove, rebuke, discipline, (b) I expose, show to be guilty.
