Answer Details
Herod was happy to receive Jesus for trial because he was curious to see Jesus perform miracles or signs before him. This is based on Luke 23:8-9 which says, "When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him. From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform a sign of some sort." However, Jesus did not perform any miracles before Herod and remained silent in his presence.
