Luke 23:5-12

⁵But they insisted, saying, “He is inciting rebellion all over Judea with his teachings, from Galilee to right here in Jerusalem.”

⁶When he heard this, Pilate asked, “Is this man a Galilean?”

⁷When he discovered that Jesus came under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod who was also in Jerusalem at the time.

⁸Herod was very pleased to see Jesus since he had wanted to meet him for a long time. He had heard about Jesus and was hoping to see him perform a miracle.

⁹He asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not answer him at all.

¹⁰The chief priests and religious teachers stood there, angrily accusing him.

¹¹Herod and his soldiers treated Jesus with contempt and mocked him. Then they placed a royal robe on him and sent him back to Pilate.

¹²From that day on Herod and Pilate were friends—before that they had been enemies.
