Luke 23:7-38 And when he learned that he belonged to the dominion of Herod, he sent him to Herod, who was at that time in Jerusalem.

Anderson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ And when he learned that he belonged to the dominion of Herod, he sent him to Herod, who was at that time in Jerusalem. ⁸ When Herod saw Jesus, he rejoiced greatly; for he had, for a long time, desired to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some sign done by him. ⁹ And he questioned him concerning many things; but he made him no answer. ¹⁰ And the chief priests and the scribes stood by, and vehemently accused him. ¹¹ But Herod and his guards treated him with contempt; and having mocked him, and put on him a gaudy robe, he sent him back to Pilate. ¹² And on the same day, Pilate and Herod became friends to each other; for, before this, they had been at enmity the one toward the other. ¹³ And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, ¹⁴ and said to them: You have brought to me this man as one that turns the people away; and behold, I have examined him before you, and have found in this man no fault, with respect to the things of which you accuse him; ¹⁵ nor indeed did Herod; for I sent you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death has been done by him. ¹⁶ I will, therefore, chastise him, and release him. ¹⁷ For it was necessary that he should release to them one at the feast. ¹⁸ And the whole multitude cried out, saying: Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas. ¹⁹ He, for a certain seditious movement that had been made in the city, and for murder, had been thrown into prison. ²⁰ Therefore Pilate, desiring to release Jesus, again called to them. ²¹ But they answered, saying: Crucify, crucify him. ²² He said to them the third time: Why, what evil has he done? I have found nothing in him worthy of death. I will, therefore, chastise him, and release him. ²³ But they were urgent with loud voices, demanding that he should be crucified. And their voices, and those of the chief priests, prevailed. ²⁴ And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they demanded. ²⁵ And he released him that for a seditious movement, and for murder, had been thrown into prison, whom they demanded; but Jesus, he delivered up to their will. ²⁶ And as they led him away, they laid hold of Simon, a certain Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might carry it after Jesus. ²⁷ And there followed him a great number of the people, and of women that bewailed and lamented him. ²⁸ But Jesus turned, and said to them, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. ²⁹ For, behold, the days are coming in which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never gave suck. ³⁰ Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. ³¹ For, if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry? ³² And two others, who were evil-doers, were led out to be put to death with him. ³³ And when they came to the place called Skull, they there crucified him and the evil-doers; one on the right, and the other on the left. ³⁴ And Jesus said: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And dividing his clothing into parts, they cast lots. ³⁵ And the people stood and looked on. And the rulers, with them scoffed at him, saying: He saved others, let him save himself if he is the Christ, the chosen of God. ³⁶ The soldiers also derided him, coming to him and offering him vinegar, ³⁷ and saying: If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself. ³⁸ And a superscription was also written over him in Greek and in Roman and in Hebrew letters, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
