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.
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".
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 had wanted to see Him.
to Herod (Luke 23:7 )
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.
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.
He simply gave the people what they asked for, he personally believed Jesus was innocent so he left the decsion for the Jewish people.

Caliphs the high priest tried Jesus , but as the Jews did not have the power to send anyone to death. He then sent Jesus to Pilate to sentence him to death on the cross.
They escaped to Egypt to escape from King Herod because the Wise Men told him about Jesus (they didn't know they were putting him in danger he told them he would send presents and things)and he was jealus. God told the Wise men not to go back and tell King Herod because he would kill Jesus but King Herod then orded every new born to be killed.
