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.

Jesus Brought Before Herod
6 Now when[a] Pilate heard this,[b] he asked if the man was a Galilean. 7 And when he[c] found out that he was from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him over to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem in those days. 8 And when[d] 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 some miracle performed by him. 9 So he questioned him at considerable length,[e] but he answered nothing to him. 10 And the chief priests and the scribes were standing there vehemently accusing him. 11 And Herod with his soldiers also treated him with contempt, and after[f] mocking him[g] and[h] dressing him[i] in glistening clothing, he sent him back to Pilate. 12 And both Herod and Pilate became friends with one another on that same day, for they had previously been enemies of one another.[j]
