Luke 23:5-16 - Pilate Sends Jesus To Herod
5 But they were the more violent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee, even to this place.
6 And when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilaean. 7 And on learning that he belonged to Herods jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was himself also at Jerusalem at this time. 8 Now Herod, when he saw Jesus, was very glad; for he had been wishing to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him; and he hoped to see some sign wrought by him. 9 And he put many questions to him; but he gave him no answer. 10 And the chief priests and scribes stood vehemently accusing him. 11 And Herod also with his guard of soldiers set him at nought and mocked him, and having arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, sent him back to Pilate. 12 And Herod and Pilate on that day became friends with each other; for they had before been at enmity.
13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 14 said to them, Ye have brought to me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold, I have examined him before you, and have found nothing in this man to sustain the charges which ye bring against him. 15 No, nor yet Herod; for he hath sent him back to us; and lo! nothing deserving death hath been done by him. 16 I will therefore chastise, and release him.
