6
And when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Gelili (an inhabitant of the Galil).
7
And having learned that he is under the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Yerushalayim during those days.
8
And Herod, having laid eyes on Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, had great simcha. For he was for a long time wanting to see him, because he keeps hearing things about him and was hoping to watch some ot (miraculous sign) being performed by him.
9
And Herod was questioning him with many words, but he answered him nothing.
10
And the Rashei Hakohenim and the Sofrim had stood by vehemently accusing Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
11
And having treated him with contempt, Herod with his chaiyalim also ridiculed him, having clothed him in an elegant royal robe. So they thus sent back him to Pilate.
12
And Herod and Pilate became fast friends with one another on that very day, for they were previously at enmity toward each other.
13
And Pilate, when he had assembled the Rashei Hakohanim and the manhigim and the people,
14
Said to them, You brought to me this man causing the people to rise up in mered (revolt), and, hinei, I have cross-examined him before you and I found nothing in this man of the crime of which you make accusations against him.
15
And neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us, and, hinei, nothing worthy of mishpat mavet has been done by him.
16
Therefore, having disciplined him, I will release him.
