Summary

In this verse, Herod and his soldiers treated Jesus with contempt and mocked Him. Despite the unjust accusations and ill-treatment, Jesus remained silent, fulfilling the prophecy of being led like a lamb to the slaughter. This moment reflects Jesus' submission to the Father's will and His willingness to endure suffering for the sake of humanity's salvation. It also showcases the contrast between the earthly powers of Herod and the divine authority and humility of Jesus, who chose to endure the cross for the redemption of all.

Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

A gorgeous robe - Εσθητα λαμπραν. It probably means a white robe, for it was the custom of the Jewish nobility to wear such. Hence, in Rev 3:4, it is said of the saints, They shall walk with me in White (garments), because they are Worthy. In such a robe, Herod, by way of mockery, caused our Lord to be clothed; but, the nobility among the Romans wearing purple for the most part, Pilate's soldiers, who were Romans, put on Jesus a purple robe, Mar 15:17; Joh 19:2; both of them following the custom of their own country, when, by way of mocking our Lord as a king, they clothed him in robes of state. See Bishop Pearce.
