Jesus is escorted into Herod's presence. Herod looks Him up and down then asks, "Who is it that you say you are?" Jesus remains silent. Herod says that he's heard that Jesus can perform miracles and signs. Herod demands that Jesus do something for him. But Jesus stays silent and unmoving.
When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see Him perform a miracle. Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer. Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him. And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.
