Luke 23:12

23:12 That very day Herod and Pilate became friends with each other, ¹  for prior to this they had been enemies. ² 

[23:12]  ¹ sn Herod and Pilate became friends with each other. It may be that Pilate’s change of heart was related to the death of his superior, Sejanus, who had a reputation for being anti-Jewish. To please his superior, Pilate may have ruled the Jews with insensitivity. Concerning Sejanus, see Philo, Embassy 24 (160-61) and Flaccus 1 (1).

[23:12]  ² tn Grk “at enmity with each other.”
