Luke 23:4-12
English Standard Version
4 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, (A)“I find no guilt in this man.” 5 But they were urgent, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, (B)from Galilee even to this place.”
Jesus Before Herod
6 When Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean. 7 And when he learned that he belonged to (C)Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who was himself in Jerusalem at that time. 8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, (D)for he had long desired to see him, (E)because he had heard about him, and he was hoping (F)to see some sign done by him. 9 So he questioned him at some length, but he made no answer. 10 The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing him. 11 And Herod with his soldiers (G)treated him with contempt and (H)mocked him. Then, (I)arraying him in splendid clothing, he sent him back to Pilate. 12 And (J)Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before this they had been at enmity with each other.

Luke 23:4-12
New International Version
4 Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”(A)
5 But they insisted, “He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee(B) and has come all the way here.”
6 On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean.(C) 7 When he learned that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod,(D) 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.(E) From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform a sign of some sort. 9 He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer.(F) 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,(G) they sent him back to Pilate. 12 That day Herod and Pilate became friends(H)—before this they had been enemies.

Luke 23:4-12
King James Version
4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.
5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.
6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.
7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.
8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.
9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
