³² He said to them, “Go and tell that fox for me,^[a] ‘Listen, I am casting out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish my work.^(A)

¹⁰ It was fitting that God,^[a] for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many children to glory, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings.^(A)

⁹ and having been made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him,^(A)

²⁸ For the law appoints as high priests humans, who are subject to weakness, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.^(A)

⁴ I glorified you on earth by finishing the work that you gave me to do.^{(A) 5} So now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had in your presence before the world existed.^(B)

⁸ The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now trying to stone you, and are you going there again?”^{(A) 9} Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Those who walk during the day do not stumble because they see the light of this world. ¹⁰ But those who walk at night stumble because the light is not in them.”

³² Jesus replied, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these are you going to stone me?”

⁸ When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had been wanting to see him for a long time because he had heard about him and was hoping to see him perform some sign.^{(A) 9} He questioned him at some length, but Jesus^[a] gave him no answer. ¹⁰ The chief priests and the scribes stood by vehemently accusing him. ¹¹ Even Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him; then he put an elegant robe on him and sent him back to Pilate.^(B)

Herod’s Perplexity

⁷ Now Herod the ruler heard about all that had taken place, and he was perplexed because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead,^{(A) 8} by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the ancient prophets had arisen.^{(B) 9} Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” And he tried to see him.^(C)

¹⁹ But Herod the ruler, who had been rebuked by him because of Herodias, his brother’s wife, and because of all the evil things that Herod had done,^{(A) 20} added to them all by shutting up John in prison.
