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

⁵ And they were strong, saying, That he stirs up the people, teaching through the whole of Judea, beginning from Galilee to here.

⁶ And Pilate having heard of Galilee, asked if the man is a Galilean. ⁷ And having known that he is from Herod's authority, he sent him to Herod, he being in Jerusalem in those days. ⁸ And Herod having seen Jesus, rejoiced greatly: for he was wishing a long while since to see him, for hearing many things of him: and he hoped to see some sign done by him. ⁹ And he asked him in fitting words: and he answered him nothing. ¹⁰ And the chief priests and scribes stood zealously accusing him. ¹¹ And Herod having set him at nought with his troops, and having mocked, putting about him shining clothing, sent him out to Pilate. ¹² And also Pilate and Herod were friends in that day with one another: for they were before being in enmity with each other.

¹³ And Pilate having called together the chief priests and rulers and people, ¹⁴ Said to them, Ye have brought to me this man, as perverting the people: and, behold, I having examined him before you, have found nothing blameworthy in this man, of what things ye bring an accusation against him: ¹⁵ But neither Herod: for I sent you forth to him; and, behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him. ¹⁶ Therefore, having chastised him, I will release.
