2They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting our nation, forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”
3Pilate asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered him and said, “You say so.”
4Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, “I find no fault in this man.”
5But they were insisting, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”
6So when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.
7When he discovered that he was under Herod's authority, he sent Jesus to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in those days.
8When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, because he had wanted to see him for a long time. He had heard about him and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.
9Herod questioned Jesus in many words, but Jesus answered him nothing.
