Luke 23:7-15

7When he learned that he was from Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who also happened to be in Jerusalem at that time.

8When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had long desired to see him, because he had heard about him and was hoping to see him perform some miraculous sign.

9So Herod questioned him at considerable length; Jesus gave him no answer.

10The chief priests and the experts in the law were there, vehemently accusing him.

11Even Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him. Then, dressing him in elegant clothes, Herod sent him back to Pilate.

12That very day Herod and Pilate became friends with each other, for prior to this they had been enemies.

13Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was misleading the people. When I examined him before you, I did not find this man guilty of anything you accused him of doing.

15Neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Look, he has done nothing deserving death.
