10. And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, stood firm in persistently accusing him.
11. Then Herod, with his soldiers, scorned him. And he ridiculed him, clothing him in a white garment. And he sent him back to Pilate.
12. And Herod and Pilate became friends on that day. For previously they were enemies to one another.
13. And Pilate, calling together the leaders of the priests, and the magistrates, and the people,
14. said to them: "You have brought before me this man, as one who disturbs the people. And behold, having questioned him before you, I find no case against this man, in those things about which you accuse him.
15. And neither did Herod. For I sent you all to him, and behold, nothing deserving of death was recorded about him.
16. Therefore, I will chastise him and release him."
17. Now he was required to release one person for them on the feast day.
18. But the entire crowd exclaimed together, saying: "Take this one, and release to us Barabbas!"
19. Now he had been cast into prison because of a certain sedition that occurred in the city and for murder.
