                                                          when Herod saw Jesus, 
                                                          he was exceedingly glad, 
                                                          for he had desired for 
                                                          a long time to see Him, 
                                                          because he had heard 
                                                          many things about Him, 
                                                          and he had hoped to 
                                                          see some miracle done 
                                                          by Him. Then he questioned 
                                                          Him with many words, 
                                                          BUT HE ANSWERED HIM 
                                                          NOTHING."

                                                          wanted to see a magic 
                                                          show. Jesus refused 
                                                          to speak a single word
