Luke 23:15

Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each other.

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

and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.

I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

Now he had to release one prisoner to them at the feast.

But they all cried out together, saying, “Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!”—
