“And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was in Jerusalem at that time. And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.
Then he questioned with him in many words: but he answered him nothing. And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.” Luke 23 v7-12 AKJV
“And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching him those things whereof ye accuse him:
No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo nothing worthy of death is done unto him. I will therefore chastise him, an release him. (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast) And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabas; (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him, And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.” Luke 23 v13-22 AKJV
