Luke 23:6-12

The Innocent King Condemned, Crucified with Transgressors, and Buried in Hope

Jesus is falsely accused before Pilate, mocked by Herod, declared innocent yet condemned under crowd demand, led to crucifixion, warns Jerusalem’s daughters, is crucified between criminals, forgives enemies, saves the repentant criminal, dies in darkness as the temple curtain tears, is declared righteous by a centurion, and is buried by Joseph while the women witness the tomb.

6When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean.

7And learning that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time.

8When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see Him perform a miracle.

9Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.

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

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

12That day Herod and Pilate became friends; before this time they had been enemies.
