Each of the gospels attempted to address the problem of not offending the Roman authorities by making it appear that they thought the Romans were responsible for the death of Jesus. The primarly responsibility was of course placed on the Jews, as well as which it was known that the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, was an unpopular ruler. However the Gospel of Luke goes further, with an account that goes beyond the narrative of the other gospels. Luke has Pilate send Jesus to Herod, thus justifying him in washing his hands of the outcome. This was Herod Antipas, the son of Herod the Great, and king of Galilee.

Who was the judge that the Romans brought Jesus to?
Jesus was brought from Caiaphas' house to appear before Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea. The Jewish leaders charged Jesus with subversion of both Israel and Rome. Two of their charges were designed especially to get Pilate's attention. The first was that Jesus opposed paying taxes to Caesar and that Jesus claimed to be king. Finding no fault in Him, Pilate summoned Jesus into Herod's palace and questioned Him further. In the course of the conversation, Pilate learned 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. Herod had Jesus dressed in a robe and sent back to Pilate. 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.

Why didn't Jesus share his message with Pontius Pilot or King Herod?
According to Christian beliefs, Jesus redeemed us by his crucifixion. It was all according to God's plan. Herod was only a minor player, but on a purely civil basis, he found no problem with Jesus. Had he been a convert, the injustice of the sentence would not be valid. The same goes for Pilate. If Pilate had been converted, he would never have passed the death sentence. There would have been no crucifixion, thus no redemption.
