8. And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he had been for a long time, desirous to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.
9. Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
10. And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
11. And Herod with his troops set him at naught, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
12. And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together; for before they were at enmity between themselves.
13. And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,
14. Said to them, Ye have brought this man to me, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man, touching those things of which ye accuse him;
15. No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and lo, nothing worthy of death is done to him:
16. I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
17. (For of necessity he must release one to them at the feast.)
