Jesus Before Herod

Luke 23

6 When Pilate heard 1 of Galilee, he asked if the Man were a Galilean. 7 And as soon as he knew that He belonged to j Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time. 8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, k he was exceedingly glad; for he had desired for a long time to see Him, because l he had heard many things about Him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by Him. 9 Then he questioned Him with many words, but He answered him m nothing. 10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused Him. 11 n Then Herod, with his 2 men of war, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him back to Pilate. 12 That very day o Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for previously they had been at enmity with each other.

13 p Then Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people, 14 said to them, q "You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people. And indeed, r having examined Him in your presence, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him; 15 "no, neither did Herod, for 3 I sent you back to him; and indeed nothing deserving of death has been done by Him. 16 s "I will therefore chastise Him and release Him"
