Luke 23:1–12

¹And having risen, the whole multitude of them did lead him to Pilate, ²and began to accuse him, saying, ‘This one we found perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be Christ a king.’ ³And Pilate questioned him, saying, ‘Thou art the king of the Jews?’ and he answering him, said, ‘Thou dost say it.’ ⁴And Pilate said unto the chief priests, and the multitude, ‘I find no fault in this man;’ ⁵and they were the more urgent, saying—‘He doth stir up the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea—having begun from Galilee—unto this place.’ ⁶And Pilate having heard of Galilee, questioned if the man is a Galilean, ⁷and having known that he is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him back unto Herod, he being also in Jerusalem in those days. ⁸And Herod having seen Jesus did rejoice exceedingly, for he was wishing for a long time to see him, because of hearing many things about him, and he was hoping some sign to see done by him, ⁹and was questioning him in many words, and he answered him nothing. ¹⁰And the chief priests and the scribes stood vehemently accusing him, ¹¹and Herod with his soldiers having set him at nought, and having mocked, having put around him gorgeous apparel, did send him back to Pilate, ¹²and both Pilate and Herod became friends on that day with one another, for they were before at enmity between themselves.
