What prompted Pilate to send Jesus to Herod for trial? Pilate
realized that Jesus was innocent
knew Jesus came from Herod's jurisdiction
wanted to avoid being blamed for Jesus' death
saw that Herod was a better judge
Explanation
In Luke 23:6-7 (RSV), when Pilate learned that Jesus was from Galilee, he realised that Jesus fell under Herod's jurisdiction, as Herod ruled over that region. Pilate decided to send Jesus to Herod, who was in Jerusalem at the time, to deal with the matter.
