Luke 23:6-16

6But Pilate, having heard Galilee [named], demanded if the man were a Galilaean;

7and having learned that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, remitted him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in those days.

8And when Herod saw Jesus he greatly rejoiced, for he had been a long while desirous of seeing him, because of hearing many things concerning him, and he hoped to see some sign done by him;

9and he questioned him in many words, but he answered him nothing.

10And the chief priests and the scribes stood and accused him violently.

11And Herod with his troops having set him at nought and mocked him, having put a splendid robe upon him, sent him back to Pilate.

12And Pilate and Herod became friends with one another the same day, for they had been at enmity before between themselves.

13And Pilate, having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

14said to them, Ye have brought to me this man as turning away the people [to rebellion], and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found nothing criminal in this man as to the things of which ye accuse him;

15nor Herod either, for I remitted you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done by him.

16Having chastised him therefore, I will release him.
