Luke 23:2-12

21And they beganG757 to bringG2723 chargesG2723 againstG2723 Him, sayingG3004, “We foundG2147 thisG3778 ManG3778 2misleadingG1294 our nationG1484 and 3forbiddingG2967 us to payG1325 taxesG5411 to CaesarG2541, and sayingG3004 that He HimselfG1438 is 4ChristG5547, a KingG935.” 3NowG1161 PilateG4091 askedG2065 Him, sayingG3004, “So You are the KingG935 of the JewsG2453?” And He answeredG611 him and saidG5346, “5It is as you sayG3004.” 4But PilateG4091 saidG3004 to the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the crowdsG3793, “6I findG2147 noG3762 groundsG159 forG159 chargesG159 in the case of thisG3778 ManG444.” 5But they kept on insistingG2001, sayingG3004, “He is stirringG383 upG383 the peopleG2992, teachingG1321 allG3650 overG2596 JudeaG2449, 7startingG757 from GalileeG1056, asG2193 farG2193 asG2193 thisG5602 placeG5602!”

6NowG1161 when PilateG4091 heardG191 this, he askedG1905 whetherG1487 the ManG444 was a GalileanG1057. 7And when he learnedG1921 that He belongedG1510G1537 to Herod’sG2264 jurisdictionG1849, he sentG375 Him to 8HerodG2264, 9since he alsoG2532 was in JerusalemG2414 10at thisG3778 timeG2250.

8NowG1161 HerodG2264 was overjoyedG3029G5463 when he sawG3708 JesusG2424; for 11he hadG1510 wantedG2309 to seeG3708 Him for a longG2425 timeG5550, becauseG1223 he had been hearingG191 aboutG4012 Him and was hopingG1679 to seeG3708 someG5100 12signG4592 performedG1096 by Him. 9And he questionedG1905 Him 13at someG2425 lengthG3056G2425; but 14He offeredG611 him noG3762 answerG611 atG3762 allG3762. 10Now the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the scribesG1122 stoodG2476 there, vehementlyG2159 chargingG2723 Him. 11And HerodG2264, togetherG4862 with his soldiersG4753, treatedG1848 Him withG1848 contemptG1848 and mockedG1702 Him, 15dressingG4016 Him in a brightlyG2986 shiningG2986 robeG2066, and sentG375 Him backG375 to PilateG4091. 12And so 16HerodG2264 and PilateG4091 becameG1096 friendsG5384 with oneG240 anotherG240 that veryG846 dayG2250; for previouslyG4391, they had beenG4391G1510 enemiesG2189 towardG4314 eachG848 otherG848.
