And when he learned that he belonged to
1Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who was himself in Jerusalem at that time.
8
When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad,
2for he had long desired to see him,
3because he had heard about him, and he was hoping
4to see some sign done by him.
9
So he questioned him at some length, but he made no answer.
10
The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing him.
11
And Herod with his soldiers
5treated him with contempt and
6mocked him. Then,
7arraying him in splendid clothing, he sent him back to Pilate.
12
And
8Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before this they had been at enmity with each other.
