Context: Luke 23
7And 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.
8And 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.
9Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
10And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
11And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

Commentary
Luke 23 is a powerful chapter that speaks to the power of faith and the importance of forgiveness. It begins with Jesus being brought before Pilate, the Roman governor, who is trying to determine if Jesus is guilty of any crime. Pilate finds no fault in Jesus, but the Jewish leaders continue to press for his death. Pilate then sends Jesus to Herod, who also finds no fault in him.
