12. And Herod and Pilate were made friends, that same day; for before they were enemies one to another.
13. And Pilate, calling together the chief priests, and the magistrates, and the people,
14. Said to them: You have presented unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold I, having examined him before you, find no cause in this man, in those things wherein you accuse him.
15. No, nor Herod neither. For I sent you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him.
16. I will chastise him therefore, and release him.
17. Now of necessity he was to release unto them one upon the feast day.
