Jesus Before Herod

Is this the man? Yes, it is, your Majesty. Looks rather dirty. He stinks. He's had a hard time of it lately? He used to insist he was a king. Very well. But then kings are not treated in this manner. Leave me with this man. I have heard much about you. And I must admit, I would hear more still, more about you. They say you have raised up the dead and have made a blind man see, and made lame men walk again. Yes. I know what the disciple of the one that was called John the Baptist said to him to raise his spirits and give him joy. And even stranger. I actually heard a ridiculous story. That you walked on water. One little thing for me, please. Something. Anything. Make me believe. Make me a believer. Very well. So you don't want to speak? Do you know who I am? Do you know that I have the power to take your life and throw it away, or to give it back to you? Beg. I want you to grovel. To beg me to spare your strange little broken existence. Zadok! There you go. Now you look like a king. Take him back to Pilate!
