Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ Herod was greatly delighted to see Jesus; he had long wanted to see him, because he had heard about him and also because he hoped to see him perform some miracle. ⁹ But though he put many questions to him, Jesus gave him no answer. ¹⁰ Meanwhile the high priests and scribes stood and accused him with might and main. ¹¹ Then Herod and his troops scoffed at him and made fun of him, and after arraying him in a bright robe he remitted him to Pilate. ¹² Herod and Pilate became friends that day — previously they had been at enmity.
