Luke 23:6-12

Jesus Before Herod

6 When Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean. 7 And when he learned that he belonged to ^aHerod’s jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who was himself in Jerusalem at that time. 8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, ^bfor he had long desired to see him, ^cbecause he had heard about him, and he was hoping ^dto see some sign done by him. 9 So he questioned him at some length, but he made no answer. 10 The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing him. 11 And Herod with his soldiers ^etreated him with contempt and ^fmocked him. Then, ^garraying him in splendid clothing, he sent him back to Pilate. 12 And ^hHerod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before this they had been at enmity with each other.
