Luke 23:12

Herod AntipasPontius
FriendshipConflict and reconciliation

10 Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

11 And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.

13 Then Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined Him here in your presence and found Him not guilty of your charges against Him.
