Luke 23:1-8

Jesus Before Pilate

1 aThen the whole company of them arose and brought him before Pilate. 2And they began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man bmisleading our nation and cforbidding us to give tribute to dCaesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, ea king.” 3 fAnd Pilate asked him, gAre you the King of the Jews?” And he answered him, hYou have said so.” 4Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, i“I find no guilt in this man.” 5But they were urgent, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, jfrom Galilee even to this place.”

Jesus Before Herod

6When Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean. 7And when he learned that he belonged to kHerod’s jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who was himself in Jerusalem at that time. 8When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, lfor he had long desired to see him, mbecause he had heard about him, and he was hoping nto see some sign done by him.
