Luke Chapter 23, Verse 12
From BibleWiki
12: εγενοντο δε φιλοι ο τε πιλατος και ο ηρωδης εν αυτη τη ημερα μετ αλληλων προυπηρχον γαρ εν εχθρα οντες προς εαυτους
12: And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together:
for before they were at enmity between themselves.
12: And Herod and Pilate were made friends, that same day: for before
they were enemies one to another.
Made friends together, &c. What had been the cause of their quarrel
is unknown. It is Commonly supposed that it was Pilate's slaying the
Galileans in Jerusalem, as related in Lk 13:1, Lk 13:2.
The occasion of their reconciliation seems to have been the civility and
respect which Pilate showed to Herod in this case. It was not because they
were united in hating Jesus, as is often the case with wicked men,
for Pilate was certainly desirous of releasing him, and both considered
him merely as an object of ridicule and sport. It is true, however, that
wicked men, at variance in other things, are often united in opposing and
ridiculing Christ and his followers; and that enmities of long standing
are sometimes made up, and the most opposite characters brought together,
simply to oppose religion. Comp. Ps 835ff.
