3 So Pilate asked Jesus, "Are you the king of the Jews?" "Yes. It is just as you say," Jesus replied.
4 Then Pilate spoke to the chief priests and the crowd. He announced, "I find no basis for a charge against this man."
5 But they kept it up. They said, "His teaching stirs up the people all over Judea. He started in Galilee and has come all the way here."
6 When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was from Galilee.
7 He learned that Jesus was from Herod's area of authority. So Pilate sent Jesus to Herod. At that time Herod was also in Jerusalem.
8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was very pleased. He had been wanting to see Jesus for a long time. He had heard much about him. He hoped to see Jesus do a miracle.
9 Herod asked him many questions, but Jesus gave him no answer.
