Luke 23:6-12
New King James Version
Jesus Faces Herod
6 When Pilate heard [a]of Galilee, he asked if the Man were a Galilean. 7 And as soon as he knew that He belonged to (A)Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time. 8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, (B)he was exceedingly glad; for he had desired for a long time to see Him, because (C)he had heard many things about Him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by Him. 9 Then he questioned Him with many words, but He answered him (D)nothing. 10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused Him. 11 (E)Then Herod, with his [b]men of war, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him back to Pilate. 12 That very day (F)Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for previously they had been at enmity with each other.

Luke 23:6-12
American Standard Version
6 But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean. 7 And when he knew that he was of Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him unto Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in these days.
8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was of a long time desirous to see him, because he had heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some [a]miracle done by him. 9 And he questioned him in many words; but he answered him nothing. 10 And the chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him. 11 And Herod with his soldiers set him at nought, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate. 12 And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
