Luke 23:12-16

And so Herod and Pilate became friends with one another that very day; for previously, they had been enemies toward each other. Pilate Seeks Jesus’ Release

Now Pilate summoned to himself the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,

and he said to them, “You brought this Man to me on the ground that He is inciting the people to revolt; and behold, after examining Him before you, I have found no basis at all in the case of this Man for the charges which you are bringing against Him.

No, nor has Herod, for he sent Him back to us; and behold, nothing deserving death has been done by Him.

Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”
