A look at the narrative of Luke 23:6-12 reveals that Herod’s testimony functions most explicitly to emphasize the innocence of the silent Jesus. Despite some passing opinions that the Herod pericope adds nothing to the progress of Jesus’ trial, it has been demonstrated that Luke’s stress on the innocence of Jesus is well integrated with the global theological message of the Lukan Passion Narrative. In fact, it has at least a four-fold function: historical, christological, pedagogical (parenetic-paradigmatic) and apologetic.
