✨ Prophecy Fulfilled: The Life of Yeshua (Jesus) – Episode 60 — Yeshua Before Herod: The Power of Holy Silence
After Pilate learns that Yeshua is a Galilean, he sends Him to Herod Antipas, who happens to be in Jerusalem for Passover. On the surface, it looks like a simple jurisdictional handoff. In reality, it becomes one of the most profound moments in the Passion narrative—not because of what is said, but because of what is not said.
Herod has long wanted to see Yeshua. Not out of faith. Not out of repentance. But out of curiosity. He hopes for a sign. A spectacle. A miracle on demand. He questions Yeshua at length.
And Yeshua answers him nothing.
This silence is not weakness. It is authority.
Herod represents corrupt power that treats truth as entertainment and righteousness as a novelty. He has already silenced John the Baptist. He has already proven that conviction means nothing to him when it threatens comfort. To such a man, words would be wasted.
So the Word made flesh remains silent.
Mockery follows. Soldiers dress Yeshua in an elegant robe—meant to ridicule His kingship—and send Him back to Pilate. In their cruelty, they unknowingly proclaim the truth: the King stands before them, unmoved by scorn, untouched by their authority.
In this moment, alliances shift. Herod and Pilate—previously at odds—become friends. Truth has a way of uniting those who wish to suppress it.
Yeshua does not defend Himself.
He does not perform.
He does not negotiate.
He entrusts Himself fully to the Father.
And in doing so, He fulfills prophecy—not with thunder, but with restraint; not with argument, but with obedience.
This episode teaches us something uncomfortable and essential:
There are moments when testimony is not spoken.
There are times when silence itself is faithfulness.
The Lamb stands silent before those who think they hold power—while heaven watches, and redemption moves forward exactly on time.
