Context of Luke 23:10

8Herod was very happy to see Jesus. He had heard about him and he had wanted to meet him for a long time. He wanted to see Jesus do something to show God's power. 9He asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not answer any of them. The leaders of the priests and the teachers of God's Law stood there. They were shouting out that Jesus had done many bad things. 11Then Herod and his soldiers started to laugh at Jesus. They were saying things to make him feel bad. They put a beautiful coat on him. Then they sent him back to Pilate. 12That same day, Herod and Pilate became friends. Until then, they had not liked each other.
