Luke 23:8-12

Jesus before Herod

8 Now Herod was very glad when he saw Jesus; for ¹he had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had been hearing about Him and was hoping to see some sign performed by Him.

9 And he questioned Him at some length *; but ²He 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, ³dressed Him in a gorgeous robe and sent Him back to Pilate.

12 Now ⁴Herod and Pilate became friends with one another that very day; for before they had been * enemies with each other.
