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

⁵ and they were the more urgent, saying -- 'He doth stir up the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea -- having begun from Galilee -- unto this place.'

⁶ And Pilate having heard of Galilee, questioned if the man is a Galilean, ⁷ and having known that he is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him back unto Herod, he being also in Jerusalem in those days. ⁸ And Herod having seen Jesus did rejoice exceedingly, for he was wishing for a long time to see him, because of hearing many things about him, and he was hoping some sign to see done by him, ⁹ and was questioning him in many words, and he answered him nothing. ¹⁰ And the chief priests and the scribes stood vehemently accusing him, ¹¹ and Herod with his soldiers having set him at nought, and having mocked, having put around him gorgeous apparel, did send him back to Pilate, ¹² and both Pilate and Herod became friends on that day with one another, for they were before at enmity between themselves.

¹³ And Pilate having called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people, ¹⁴ said unto them, 'Ye brought to me this man as perverting the people, and lo, I before you having examined, found in this man no fault in those things ye bring forward against him; ¹⁵ no, nor yet Herod, for I sent you back unto him, and lo, nothing worthy of death is having been done by him; ¹⁶ having chastised, therefore, I will release him,'
