What prompted Pilate to send Jesus to Herod for trial? Pilate
Answer Details
Pilate sent Jesus to Herod for trial because he wanted to avoid being blamed for Jesus' death. Pilate was the Roman governor who had the authority to execute Jesus, but he was hesitant to do so because he found no fault in Jesus. However, the Jewish leaders insisted that Jesus be put to death, and Pilate did not want to anger them or incite a riot. Therefore, he decided to send Jesus to Herod, who was the ruler of Galilee and had jurisdiction over Jesus' case. Pilate hoped that Herod would take responsibility for the trial and decision regarding Jesus, and that he would not have to bear the blame for Jesus' death.
