4. So Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for an accusation against this man.”
5. But they insisted, saying, “He incites the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea and beginning from Galilee as far as here.”
6. Now when Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.
7. And when he 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 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, 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 mocking him and dressing him 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.
