222. The Lord’s Passion: Jesus Before Herod. Lk. 23:8–12

Herod, seeing the Lord Jesus, was very glad; for he had long desired to see him, because he had heard much about him and hoped to see some miracle performed by him. And he put many questions to him, but he answered him nothing. The chief priests and the scribes stood and vehemently accused him. But Herod with his soldiers, treating him with contempt and mocking him, clothed him in a bright robe and sent him back to Pilate. And Pilate and Herod became friends that day, for before they had been at enmity with each other.
