Luke 23:10–18
10The chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.↗
11Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.↗
12Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.↗
13Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,↗
14and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.↗
15Neither has Herod, for I sent you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.↗
16I will therefore chastise him and release him.”↗
17Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.↗
18But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—↗
