Luke 23:7-15

7And when he learned that He belonged to the jurisdiction of Herod [Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee], he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.

8When Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time because of what he had heard about Him, and was hoping to see some [miraculous] sign [even something spectacular] done by Him.

9And he questioned Him at some length, but Jesus made no reply.

10The chief priests and the scribes were standing there, continually accusing Him heatedly.

11And Herod with his soldiers, after treating Him with contempt and mocking and ridiculing Him, dressed Him in a gorgeous robe and sent Him back to Pilate.

12Now that very day Herod and Pilate became friends with each other—before this they had been enemies.

13Pilate summoned the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

14and said to them, “You brought this man before me as one who corrupts and incites the people to rebellion. After examining Him before you, I have found no guilt in this Man regarding the charges which you make against Him.

15No, nor has Herod, for he sent Him back to us; and indeed, He has done nothing to deserve death.
