Luke 23:7-12

JMNT(i) 7 and so upon coming to know that He is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent Him back to Herod – he also being in Jerusalem during these days. 8 Now Herod, upon seeing Jesus, was exceedingly delighted (overjoyed), for he was for a considerable time constantly wanting to see Him because of hearing much about Him – and he was still hoping and expecting to see some sign presently happening by Him. 9 So he kept on questioning Him – in abundantly ample words – but He, Himself, gave not even one considered response to him. 10 But the chief (ranking) priests and the scribes (Torah experts; scholars) had taken a stand [and] kept on vehemently (well-tuned at full stretch) accusing Him and progressively bringing charges against Him. 11 So Herod – together with his troops – while treating Him contemptuously as a nobody and then making fun of [Him], throwing a bright (or: brilliantly colored; shiny and resplendent; = magnificent) garment (or: robe) around [Him], [finally] sent Him back to Pilate. 12 Now both Herod and Pilate became friends with each other on that same day, for you see, before [this] they were being inherently at enmity toward each other.
