Luke 23:6-12

6When Pilate heard that, he asked if the man was from Galilee.

7When Pilate found out that he was, he sent Jesus to Herod. Herod ruled Galilee and was in Jerusalem at that time.

8Herod was very pleased to see Jesus. For a long time he had wanted to see him. He had heard about Jesus and hoped to see him perform some kind of miracle.

9Herod asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus wouldn’t answer him.

10Meanwhile, the chief priests and the experts in Moses’ Teachings stood there and shouted their accusations against Jesus.

11Herod and his soldiers treated Jesus with contempt and made fun of him. They put a colorful robe on him and sent him back to Pilate.

12So Herod and Pilate became friends that day. They had been enemies before this.
