23 And Pilate went again unto the Jews and said, This man is guilty of no crime; I cannot sentence him to death.
24 And then the Jews grew boisterous; they cried aloud and said, Our council surely knows. The wisest men of all the land have found him guilty of a score of crimes.
25 He would pervert the nation of the Jews; would overthrow the Roman rule and make himself the king. He is a culprit come from Galilee; he must be crucified.
26 And Pilate said, If Jesus is from Galilee he is a subject of the governor of Galilee, who should be judge.
27 Now, Herod had come down from Galilee and with his suite was in Jerusalem.
28 And Pilate sent to him the Lord in chains; he also sent a copy of the charges, and of the testimonies of the Jews, and asked that he would pass in judgment on the case.
29 And Herod said, I have heard much about this man and I am pleased to see him in my court.
30 And then he asked the Lord about his claims, about his doctrines and his aims.
31 And Jesus answered not a word; and Herod was enraged; he said, Do you insult the ruler of the land by answering not?
32 And then he called his guards and said, Take you this man and torture him until he answers me.
