What was the result of Pilate’s sending Jesus to Herod?
Luke: “And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together, for before they were at enmity between themselves” ([xxiii, 12]).
Pilate and Herod did not become friends. To the day of Pilate’s recall they were enemies. Herod was continually plotting and striving to unite with his tetrarchy the province of Judea which belonged to his father’s kingdom, and which his father had promised to give him.
