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.
Why did pontius Pilate send Jesus to King Herod?
AnswerLuke 23:4-7 " Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man..........And as soon as he knew that he (Jesus) belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time".
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 was Herod that questioned Jesus before his crucifixion?
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.

Why did god send Jesus?
God sent Jesus for one reason: so that we (humans) may have salvation. God sent Jesus knowing that he would be crucified and ressurected. By Jesus sacrificing himself for our sins we are able to be forgiven by God.
Was Jesus crucified because he was the son of God?
jesus wasn't crucified because he was the son of God, but rather he was sacrificed so that humanity's sins could be atoned for. In order to send a perfect sacrifice for all of humanity, God had to come to earth "himself," via his son, Jesus. So the answer to your question is, yes, in a sense, but the real reason for Jesus' sacrifice is because of God's love for humanity. It was the only way to save us.

What is the theme of the story of Jesus before Pilate?
The theme is that of Belief vs Unbelief. At one point Jesus said to Pilate that he was the Truth. Pilate replied: what is truth? He certainly did not know because the Truth was standing right in front of him as he asked this question. Pilate by "washing" his hands of Jesus's death was actually showing his guilt. It was not Jesus who was on trial but rather Pilate himself and through his actions or lack thereof he convicted himself. Possibly there are a number of themes and sub-themes here. Pilate was also known at times as being one who was very cruel to the Jews and also very stubborn. Here he is seen as being weak and bowing to pressure, which some have interpreted as being out of character. However on one previous occasion when he had caused gross offense to the Jews by allowing some votive shields to be placed where they should not be (according to the Jews religion) and would not yield to their pleas to remove them, they threatened and then actually did send a report to Caesar, who swiftly rebuked Pilate and ordered their removal. When at Jesus' trial the Jews said 'if you let this man go you are no friend of Caesar,' Pilate understood their meaning. This was a thinly veiled threat to do the same again - probably with dire consequences for Pilate. (Pilate of course knew the Jews wanted the Romans out and were themselves not great lovers of Caesar). The theme here could be stated in several ways - every man has his price. In this case Pilate valued his skin over justice. He bowed to pressure. 'Leverage' could be another way of stating it or 'between a rock and a hard place.'
