Jesus before Pilate

1 Then the whole body of them got up and ¹brought Him before Pilate. 2 ²And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found this man ³misleading our nation and ⁴forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that He Himself is ^aChrist, a King." 3 So Pilate asked Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews ?" And He answered him and said, "⁵It is as you say." 4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, "⁶I find no guilt in this man." 5 But they kept on insisting, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching all over Judea, ⁷starting from Galilee even as far as this place." 6 When Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man was a Galilean. 7 And when he learned that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to ⁸Herod, who himself also was in Jerusalem ^bat that time.

Jesus before Herod

8 Now Herod was very glad when he saw Jesus ; for ⁹he had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had been hearing about Him and was hoping to see some ^csign performed by Him. 9 And he questioned Him ^dat some length ; but ¹⁰He answered him nothing. 10 And the chief priests and the scribes were standing there, accusing Him vehemently. 11 And Herod with his soldiers, after treating Him with contempt and mocking Him, ¹¹dressed Him in a gorgeous robe and sent Him back to Pilate. 12 Now ¹²Herod and Pilate became friends with one another that very day ; for before they had been enemies with each other.
