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.

A:In the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke), Jesus wassent to be tried by the Sanhedrin, the Jewish religious court, consisting of the high priest, all the chief priests and the elders and scribes (Mark 14:33). They tried him and then, in the morning, led him to be tried by the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate. The author of John's Gospel knew that the Sanhedrin would never meet in the middle of the night to try Jesus. In this account, Jesus was led to the house of Annas, father-in-law to Caiaphas, the high priest John 18:13). Annas interrogated Jesus and then sent him to the house of Caiaphas (John 18:24). He was then taken to the hall of judgement to be tried by Pontius Pilate (John 18:28).

Why didn't the Romans think Jesus was the son of god and wanted him to be crucified?
The Romans believed in many gods. They believed their emperor was a god. But they didn't think a Hebrew carpenter's son was, or could ever be, a god. Many people today hold the same belief. But the fact that they didn't believe He was God in no way enters into any discussion or consideration of why the Romans were involved in Jesus' execution. Jesus' case never left Palestine. In fact, it never left Jerusalem. The only interface He had with the Romans was with their governor, Pontius Pilate. The biblical record shows that even though he heard all the charges against Jesus, he found no fault in Him and nothing worthy of death. Pilate had no interest whatsoever in executing Jesus. This fact is remarkable because Pilate was known as a very harsh, very ruthless governor who was not afraid to spill gallons of blood to make a point. And yet, when confronted with the case of the Galilean carpenter, he tried desperately to wriggle out of issuing a death warrant. But the political pressure put on him by the religious leaders in Jerusalem was too great, and he finally caved in to their demand for Jesus' execution. The Romans [read Pilate] did not WANT to execute Jesus, and the warrant for His death was issued only reluctantly and only after the application of significant political pressure.
