8 Now Herod, perceiving Jesus, was overjoyed, for he was for a considerable time wanting to become acquainted with Him, because of hearing much concerning Him. And he expected to be perceiving some sign occurring by Him."
9 Now he inquired of Him with ample words, yet He answers him nothing."
10 Now the chief priests and the scribes stood strenuously accusing Him.
11 Now, scorning Him and scoffing at Him, Herod, together with his troops, clothing Him in splendid attire, sends Him back to Pilate."
12 Now both Herod and Pilate became friends with one another on that same day, for before this they were inherently at enmity between themselves."
13 Now Pilate, calling together the chief priests and the chiefs and the people,
14 said to them, "You bring to me this man as one who is turning away the people, and lo! I, examining him in your sight, found in this man not one fault of which you are accusing him."
15 Nay, neither Herod, for he sends him back to us, and lo! nothing deserving of death is committed by him."
16 Disciplining him then, I will release him."
17 Now of necessity he had to release one for them at the festival.
18 Yet they cried out, all as one multitude, saying, "Away with this one! Yet release for us Bar-Abbas"-"
19 who was, because of a certain insurrection occurring in the city, and a murder, cast into jail."
20 Now again Pilate shouts to them, willing to release Jesus."
21 Yet they retorted, saying, "Crucify, crucify him!"
22 Now for the third time he said to them, "What evil does this man? Not one cause of death did I find in him. Disciplining him then, I will release him."
23 Yet they importuned with loud voices, requesting that He be crucified. And their voices and the chief priests' prevailed."
24 Now Pilate adjudges that it occur as they request.
