Pilate stared at the growing crowd. " Can anyone offer testimony in defense of Jesus of Nazareth?".

" Yeshu Hannosri means trouble wherever he goes". Rabbi Jonathan frowned. " Even here at your tribunal".

Someone yelled. " This man is a born troublemaker".

" His teachings are inflaming the people throughout all Judea". Rabbi Jonathan's voice hesitated. " Starting from Galilee and spreading as far as this city".

" Did you say that this Jesus began teaching in Galilee?".

Jonathan nodded. " Yes".

" Where?".

" Capernaum on the Sea of Tiberias".

" It is in Galilee".

" Yes".

" Therefore I remand this case to Herod Antipas who is in the city right now".

Caiaphas protested. " But Prefect you have the legal right".

" This tribunal is adjourned".
