Jesus Before Herod

Spring A. D. 30

Friday

Jerusalem

Here's Herod with his own soldiers.  Did  the high priest have some too?

I wonder if the current movie about the crucifixion included this interview.

Strange, Herod and his soldiers mocked Jesus by dressing him in a gorgeous robe as did or do later the Roman soldiers.

Pilot seems to have the idea that Herod also found the accusations against Jesus groundless.

 

Luke

Luk 23:6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.

Luk 23:7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

Luk 23:8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

Luk 23:9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

Luk 23:10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

Luk 23:11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

Luk 23:12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
