Luke 23:7-15

7And when he learned that He belonged to Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to 1Herod, 2since he also was in Jerusalem 3at this time.

8Now Herod was overjoyed when he saw Jesus; for 4he had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had been hearing about Him and was hoping to see some 5sign performed by Him. 9And he questioned Him 6at some length; but 7He offered him no answer at all. 10Now the chief priests and the scribes stood there, vehemently charging Him. 11And Herod, together with his soldiers, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, 8dressing Him in a brightly shining robe, and sent Him back to Pilate. 12And so 9Herod and Pilate became friends with one another that very day; for previously, they had been enemies toward each other.

13Now Pilate summoned to himself the chief priests, the 1011rulers, and the people, 14and he said to them, “You brought this Man to me on the ground that 12He is inciting the people to revolt; and behold, after examining Him before you, I 13have found no basis at all in the case of this Man for the charges which you are bringing against Him. 15No, nor has 14Herod, for he sent Him back to us; and behold, nothing deserving death has been done by Him.
