Who was Jesus sent to after he was arrested and what did they do to them?

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.

He was then taken to the hall of judgement to be tried by Pontius Pilate (John 18:28).

Although Pilate tried to absolve himself of responsibility (Pilate's wife tried to warn him) he agreed to the death of Jesus as a way to satisfy the Jews. Pilate was the Roman govenorof that area of Israel and didn't want any trouble from the people.It is interesting to note that although Pilate sentenced Christ Jesus to death, to show he didn't want any responsibility for the action he washed his hands in clean water from a bowl. That is where we get our expression "to wash our hands of (something)" whenwe don't want to absolve ourselves of responsibility.

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.
