Luke 23:5-12

⁵But they insisted, “He is stirring up the people by his teaching all through Judea; he began with Galilee and has now come here.”

⁶Hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean;

⁷and, having satisfied himself that Jesus came under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who also was at Jerusalem at the time.

⁸When Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly pleased, for he had been wanting to see him for a long time, having heard a great deal about him; and he was hoping to see some sign given by him.

⁹So he questioned him at some length, but Jesus made no reply.

¹⁰Meanwhile the chief priests and the teachers of the Law stood by and vehemently accused him.

¹¹And Herod, with his soldiers, treated Jesus with scorn; he mocked him by throwing a gorgeous robe around him, and then sent him back to Pilate.

¹²And Herod and Pilate became friends that very day, for before that there had been ill-will between them.
