Luke 23:6-12 - Jesus Brought Before Herod
6 When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man were a Galilean.
6 When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man were a Galilean. 7 And when he realized that Jesus was under Herod's [political] jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time. 8 Now Herod was very pleased when he saw Jesus for he had wanted to see Him for a long time. He had heard [things] about Jesus and [now] hoped to see Him perform a miracle. 9 So, he asked Him many questions, but Jesus did not respond to any [of them]. 10 Then the leading priests and experts in the law of Moses stood up and viciously charged Him [i.e., with false accusations]. 11 Then Herod and his soldiers treated Jesus with contempt and mocked Him. They dressed Him in a luxurious robe and then sent Him back to Pilate. 12 So, Herod and Pilate became mutual friends that very day. (Now before this they had been enemies).
