Jesus Brought Before Herod

6 When Pilate heard [fn]mention of Galilee, he asked whether the man was a Galilean. 7 And when he found out that Jesus was under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem in those days. 8 When Herod saw Jesus he was very glad, for he had long desired to see him, because he had heard [fn]many things about him and was hoping to see him perform some sign. 9 So he questioned him at great length, but Jesus gave him no answer. 10 Meanwhile, the [fn]chief priests and the scribes stood there, vehemently accusing him. 11 Herod also treated him with contempt and mocked him, as did his soldiers. Then, after dressing Jesus in fine clothing, Herod sent him back to Pilate. 12 That very day [fn]Pilate and Herod became friends with one another; previously they had been enemies.
