9. And he questioned him in many words. But he answered him nothing.
10. And the chief priests and the scribes stood by, earnestly accusing him.
11. And Herod with his army set him at nought, and mocked him, putting on him a white garment, and sent him back to Pilate.
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.
