Context of Luke 3:20
18Exhorting then many other things also he announced [his] glad tidings to the people. 19But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him as to Herodias, the wife of his brother, and as to all the wicked things which Herod had done, added this also to all [the rest], that he shut up John in prison. 21And it came to pass, all the people having been baptised, and Jesus having been baptised and praying, that the heaven was opened, 22and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form as a dove upon him; and a voice came out of heaven, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I have found my delight.

Commentaries on Luke 3:20
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 15-20Verses 15-20 John the Baptist disowned being himself the Christ, but confirmed the people in their expectations of the long-promised Messiah. He could only exhort them to repent, and assure them of forgiveness upon repentance; but he could not work repentance in them, nor confer remission on them.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 19-20Herod Antipas was the ruler of Galilee. He divorced his first wife and married Herodias. Herodias was the wife of his half-brother Herod Philip.

(Also see on Mt 3:12.) and for all the evils which Herod had done--important fact here only mentioned, showing how thoroughgoing was the fidelity of the Baptist to his royal hearer, and how strong must have been the workings of conscience in that slave of passion when, notwithstanding such plainness, he "did many things and heard John gladly" (Mr 6:20, 26).Read the comment
