6 On hearing this,
Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean. 7
When he learned that Jesus was under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to
Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.
8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was
greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him. From
what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform some miracle.
9 He plied him with many questions, but Jesus
gave him no answer. 10 The chief priests
and the teachers of the law were standing there, vehemently accusing him.
11 Then Herod and his soldiers
ridiculed and mocked him. Dressing him in an elegant robe, they sent him back to
Pilate. 12 That day Herod and Pilate
became friends -- before this they had been enemies.
Luke 23:6-12
