Luke 23:5-16 - Pilate Sends Jesus To Herod

⁵ And they were the more fierce, saying, "He moveth the people, teaching throughout Jewry, and began at Galilee, even to this place."

⁶ When Pilate heard mention of Galilee, he asked whether the man were of Galilee. ⁷ And as soon as he knew that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, which was also at Jerusalem in those days. ⁸ And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad. For he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him, and trusted to have seen some miracle done by him. ⁹ Then questioned he with him of many things: But he answered him not one word. ¹⁰ The high priests and scribes, stood forth and accused him straightly. ¹¹ And Herod, with his men of war, despised him, and mocked him; And arrayed him in white, and sent him again to Pilate. ¹² And the same day, Pilate and Herod were made friends together. For before, they were at variance.

¹³ And Pilate called together the high priests, and the rulers, and the people, ¹⁴ and said unto them, "Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverted the people. And behold, I have examined him before you, and have found no fault in this man, of those things whereof ye accuse him. ¹⁵ No, nor yet Herod. For I sent you to him: and lo, nothing worthy of death is done to him. ¹⁶ I will therefore chasten him, and let him loose."
