Pontius Pilate and Herod were unavailable for comment
AI Overview: (with a tiny bit of tweaking)
Why Pilate and Herod Became Friends
Yes, Pontius Pilate and Herod became friends “that very day” after having been enemies before. This unexpected political alliance was forged through their shared disdain for Jesus, Whom they both mocked and ultimately dismissed.
From enemies to friends:
The Biblical account in Luke 23:12 states that “Herod and Pilate became friends with one another on that very day; for before they had been enemies with each other”.
Shared political maneuver:
Pilate, the Roman governor, had sent Jesus to Herod Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee, to be tried because Jesus was a Galilean. This was a political move to deflect responsibility and show deference to Herod’s authority in Judea.
A common enemy:
Their mutual animosity was set aside as they found common ground in mocking Jesus and finding no fault in Him, which allowed them to “bury the hatchet” and unite against a common ‘problem’.

Philippians 2:10-11
New King James Version
10 that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in Heaven,
and of those on Earth, and of those under the Earth,
11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ
is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
