Luke 23:6-12 ▼

6 Now when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.

7 And when he learned that He belonged to Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, since he also was in Jerusalem at this time.

8 Now Herod was overjoyed when he saw Jesus; for he had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had been hearing about Him and was hoping to see some sign performed by Him.

9 And he questioned Him at some length; but He offered him no answer at all.

10 Now the chief priests and the scribes stood there, vehemently charging Him.

11 And Herod, together with his soldiers, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, dressing Him in a brightly shining robe, and sent Him back to Pilate.

12 And so Herod and Pilate became friends with one another that very day; for previously, they had been enemies toward each other.
