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.
10 The chief priests and the teachers of the law were standing there. With loud shouts they brought charges against him.
