Summary

In this verse, Herod questions Jesus during His trial but receives no answer. This silence reflects Jesus' fulfillment of the prophecy in Isaiah 53:7, where the Messiah is described as being silent before His accusers. Despite Herod's curiosity and desire to see a miracle, Jesus remains steadfast in His mission and does not perform any sign for him. This interaction highlights Jesus' commitment to His sacrificial journey to the cross, showing His obedience to the Father's will even in the face of mockery and disbelief.
