Jesus is Sent to Herod

⁶ When Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean. ⁷ When he learned with certainty that Jesus^[a] came from Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him off to Herod, who was in Jerusalem at that time. ⁸ Now Herod was very glad to see Jesus, because he had been wanting to see him for a long time on account of what he had heard about him. He was also hoping to see some sign done by him. ⁹ So he continued to question him for a long time, but Jesus^[b] gave him no answer at all. ¹⁰ Meanwhile, the high priests and the scribes stood nearby and continued to accuse him vehemently. ¹¹ Even^[c] Herod and his soldiers treated him with contempt and made fun of him. He put a magnificent robe on Jesus^[d] and sent him back to Pilate. ¹² So Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day. Before this they had been enemies.
