On hearing this, Pilate inquired, "Is this man a Galilaean?"
7
And learning that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction he sent Him to Herod, for he too was in Jerusalem at that time.

To Herod the sight of Jesus was a great gratification, for, for a long time, he had been wanting to see Him, because he had heard so much about Him. He hoped also to see some miracle performed by Him.

Meanwhile the High Priests and the Scribes were standing there and vehemently accusing Him.

And on that very day Herod and Pilate became friends again, for they had been for some time at enmity.
