← Luke 23:7	Luke 23:8 (KJV)	Luke 23:9 →
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.	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.	Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
