Luke 23:4-16

4But PilateG4091 saidG3004 to the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the crowdsG3793, “1I 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, 2startingG757 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 3HerodG2264, 4since he alsoG2532 was in JerusalemG2414 5at thisG3778 timeG2250.

8NowG1161 HerodG2264 was overjoyedG3029G5463 when he sawG3708 JesusG2424; for 6he hadG1510 wantedG2309 to seeG3708 Him for a longG2425 timeG5550, becauseG1223 he had been hearingG191 aboutG4012 Him and was hopingG1679 to seeG3708 someG5100 7signG4592 performedG1096 by Him. 9And he questionedG1905 Him 8at someG2425 lengthG3056G2425; but 9He 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, 10dressingG4016 Him in a brightlyG2986 shiningG2986 robeG2066, and sentG375 Him backG375 to PilateG4091. 12And so 11HerodG2264 and PilateG4091 becameG1096 friendsG5384 with oneG240 anotherG240 that veryG846 dayG2250; for previouslyG4391, they had beenG4391G1510 enemiesG2189 towardG4314 eachG848 otherG848.

13NowG1161 PilateG4091 summonedG4779 to himself the chiefG749 priestsG749, the 1213rulersG758, and the peopleG2992, 14and he saidG3004 to them, “You broughtG4374 thisG3778 ManG444 to me onG5613 theG5613 groundG5613 thatG5613 14He is incitingG654 the peopleG2992 to revoltG654; and beholdG2400, after examiningG350 Him beforeG1799 you, I 15have foundG2147 noG3762 basisG159 atG3762 allG3762 in the case of thisG3778 ManG444 for the chargesG2723 whichG3739 you are bringingG2723 againstG2596 Him. 15NoG235, norG3761 has 16HerodG2264, for he sentG375 Him backG375 to us; and beholdG2400, nothingG3762 deservingG514 deathG2288 has beenG1510 doneG4238 by Him. 16ThereforeG3767 I will 1718punishG3811 Him and releaseG630 Him.”
