Claim: The Passion of the Christ includes a trial of Jesus at Herod's court, and many utterances from Jesus which cannot be directly sourced to the Gospel.
Evidence: At the urging of his wife Claudia, who knows of Jesus' status as a man of God, and after questioning Jesus and finding no fault, Pilate transfers him to the court of Herod Antipas (as Jesus is from Antipas' ruling town of Nazareth). After Jesus is found not guilty and returned, Pilate offers the crowd the choice of chastising Jesus or releasing him. Many of the utterances from Jesus in the film cannot be directly sourced to the Gospel and are part of a wider Christian narrative.
