Luke 23:1–9
1The whole company of them rose up and brought him before Pilate.↗
2They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”↗
3Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him,“So you say.”↗
4Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”↗
5But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”↗
6But when Pilate heard Galilee mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean.↗
7When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.↗
8Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some miracle done by him.↗
9He questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers.↗
