* And when Herod saw (5631 ) Jesus , he was exceeding glad (5644 ): for he was (5713 ) desirous (5723 ) to see (5629 ) him of a long season , because he had heard (5721 ) many things of him ; and he hoped (5707 ) to have seen (5629 ) some miracle done (5740 ) by him . * Then he questioned (5707 ) with him in many words ; but he answered (5662 ) him nothing . * And the chief priests and scribes stood (5715 ) and vehemently accused (5723 ) him . * And Herod with his men of war set him at nought (5660 ), and mocked (5660 ) him , and arrayed (5631 ) him in a gorgeous robe , and sent him again (5656 ) to Pilate . * And the same day Pilate and Herod were made (5633 ) friends together : for before (5707 ) they were (5752 ) at enmity between themselves . * And Pilate , when he had called together (5671 ) the chief priests and the rulers and the people , * Said (5627 ) unto them , Ye have brought (5656 ) this man unto me , as one that perverteth (5723 ) the people : and , behold (5628 ), I , having examined (5660 ) him before you , have found (5627 ) no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse (5719 ) him : * No , nor yet Herod : for I sent (5656 ) you to him ; and , lo (5628 ), nothing worthy of death is (5748 ) done (5772 ) unto him . * I will therefore chastise (5660 ) him , and release (5692 ) him . * (For of necessity he must (5707 ) release (5721 ) one unto them at the feast .) * And they cried out (5656 ) all at once , saying (5723 ), Away with (5720 ) this man , and release (5657 ) unto us Barabbas : * (Who for (5713 ) a certain sedition made (5637 ) in the city , and for murder , was cast (5772 ) into prison .) * Pilate therefore , willing (5723 ) to release (5658 ) Jesus , spake again to them (5656 ). * But they cried (5707 ), saying (5723 ), Crucify (5657 ) him , crucify (5657 ) him . * And he said (5627 ) unto them the third time , Why , what evil hath he done (5656 )? I have found (5627 ) no cause of death in him : I will therefore chastise (5660 ) him , and let him go (5692 ). * And they were instant (5711 ) with loud voices , requiring (5734 ) that he might be crucified (5683 ). And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed (5707 ). * And Pilate gave sentence (5656 ) that it should be as (5635 ) they required .
