Luke 23:5-12

⁵But they were insisting, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”

⁶So when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.

⁷When he discovered that he was under Herod's authority, he sent Jesus to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in those days.

⁸When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, because he had wanted to see him for a long time. He had heard about him and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.

⁹Herod questioned Jesus in many words, but Jesus answered him nothing.

¹⁰The chief priests and the scribes stood, violently accusing him.

¹¹Herod with his soldiers insulted Jesus and they mocked him. Then they dressed him in elegant clothes and sent him back to Pilate.

¹²For Herod and Pilate had become friends with each other that very day, for before this they had been enemies with each other.
