Why did Pontius Pilate send Jesus to Herod?
A:The early Christians knew that they depended very much on the forbearance of the Roman authorities and were careful not to offend the Romans in any of their writings. Each of the gospels had the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, show great reluctance in sentencing Jesus to death. Mark begins by having Pilate offer to free on of his two prisoners, thinking that the Jews would choose Jesus, but they chose Barabbas instead. Matthew elaborates this account by having Pilate wash his hands, to show himself innocent of the crime. John even has Pilate accompany Jesus to the crucifixion and argue with the priests about the sign that called Jesus the king of the Jews. It is in Luke that we have Pilate show his reluctance by calling for Herod Antipas to try Jesus. The reasoning was that Jesus was from Galilee and therefore came under Herod's jurisdiction. For the story to continue, Herod had to send Jesus back to Pilate for trial, which he did.
Who were the three that said Jesus was innocent at his trials?
Pilate's wife (Matthew 27:19) Pilate (Luke 23:4) Herod (Luke 23:15)
Who sentences Jesus to death?
Pontius Pilate was, in a major way, responsible for the death of Jesus. He knew Jesus was innocent and wanted to release him. However, the Jewish leaders stirred up the crowd and demanded that he be executed. Pilate was afraid a riot would break out so he washed his hands of the affair and turned Jesus over to the Jews and told them to see to it themselves.
Why did pontius pilate send Jesus to be crucified?
He simply gave the people what they asked for, he personally believed Jesus was innocent so he left the decsion for the Jewish people.
Was Jesus crucified after a trial that Pilate never wanted?
Pilate found no fault in Jesus so he told the Jewish leaders to try Jesus themselves according to their own laws. Pilate learned that Jesus was a Galilean and was under Herod's jurisdiction so Pilate sent Jesus to Herod, who had heard about Jesus and wanted to see him. When Jesus came back, Pilate told the Jewish leaders that neither he nor Herod could find Jesus guilty of a crime that brought with it the death penalty. Pilate proposed to have Jesus scourged and then released. During passover the Romans had a custom of releasing one Jewish prisoner of the crowd's choosing. Pilate thought they might choose Jesus, but the crowd made clear they wanted him to release a prisoner named Barabbas. The crowd became a mob and with increased intensity called for Pilate to crucify Jesus. Pilate knew his first mandate from Caesar was to keep these people under control. Pilate therefore took a bowl of water and washed his hands, declaring his innocence of the blood of Jesus. I do not suppose Pilate never wanted the trial, only that he knew Jesus was innocent and did not want to see Him crucified.
What did Pontius Pilate and Herod Antipas have to do with the death of Jesus?
A:In the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and John, Pontius Pilate alone tried Jesus and sentenced him to death, although most unwillingly. In the Gospel of Luke, Pontius Pilate was asked by the religious authorities to try and sentence Jesus but, being unwilling to sentence an innocent man and learning that Herod Antipas was in Jerusalem, sent Jesus to Herod to be sentenced. Herod, in turn, was unwilling to sentence Jesus and so left Pilate with this terrible responsibility.
Which Roman governor sentenced Jesus to death and why?
Pontius Pilate. He gave Jesus over to the Jewish leaders to be crucified, not because he belived Jesus to be guilty, but because he was afraid the Jewish leaders would cause more unrest in the region if he didn't. As the governorship of Judea was almost a punishment, he was looking to his own career when he made the decision.
Pontius Pilate's gesture of washing his hand truly frees him from any accountability?
Pontius Pilate's gesture of washing his hands may symbolize his attempt to distance himself from responsibility for Jesus' crucifixion, but ultimately it does not absolve him of accountability in moral or historical terms. Pilate, as governor, had the authority to prevent Jesus' execution and failed to do so despite knowing of His innocence. His decision reflects his prioritization of political expediency over justice.
