Jesus Faces Herod Antipas

⁶ When Pilate^(A) heard this,^[a] he asked if the man was a Galilean. ⁷ Finding that He was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod,^(B) who was also in Jerusalem during those days. ⁸ Herod was very glad to see Jesus; for a long time he had wanted to see Him because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see some miracle^[b] performed by Him. ⁹ So he kept asking Him questions, but Jesus did not answer him.^{(C) 10} The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing Him. ¹¹ Then Herod, with his soldiers, treated Him with contempt, mocked^(D) Him, dressed Him in a brilliant robe,^(E) and sent Him back to Pilate. ¹² That very day Herod and Pilate became friends.^[c](F) Previously, they had been hostile toward each other.
