nkjv Luke:23:8-24
nkjv@Luke:23:8 @ Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad; for he had desired for a long time to see Him, because he had heard many things about Him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by Him.
nkjv@Luke:23:9 @ Then he questioned Him with many words, but He answered him nothing.
nkjv@Luke:23:10 @ And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused Him.
nkjv@Luke:23:11 @ Then Herod, with his men of war, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him back to Pilate.
nkjv@Luke:23:12 @ That very day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for previously they had been at enmity with each other.
nkjv@Luke:23:13 @ Then Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,
nkjv@Luke:23:14 @ said to them, "You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people. And indeed, having examined Him in your presence, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him;
nkjv@Luke:23:15 @ no, neither did Herod, for I sent you back to him; and indeed nothing deserving of death has been done by Him.
nkjv@Luke:23:16 @ I will therefore chastise Him and release Him"
nkjv@Luke:23:17 @ (for it was necessary for him to release one to them at the feast).
nkjv@Luke:23:18 @ And they all cried out at once, saying, "Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas"--
nkjv@Luke:23:19 @ who had been thrown into prison for a certain rebellion made in the city, and for murder.
nkjv@Luke:23:20 @ Pilate, therefore, wishing to release Jesus, again called out to them.
nkjv@Luke:23:21 @ But they shouted, saying, "Crucify Him, crucify Him!"
nkjv@Luke:23:22 @ Then he said to them the third time, "Why, what evil has He done? I have found no reason for death in Him. I will therefore chastise Him and let Him go."
nkjv@Luke:23:23 @ But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men and of the chief priests prevailed.
nkjv@Luke:23:24 @ So Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they requested.
