So, Herod and Pilate became mutual friends that very day. (Now before this they had been enemies).
For [truly] it was both Herod and Pontius Pilate, together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, who gathered together in this city [of Jerusalem] against your Holy Servant Jesus

So, they chained Him, led Him away and turned Him over to Pilate, the [Roman] governor.
