If neither Herod nor Pilate found anything worthy of death to convict Jesus of then why was he sentenced to death?
Pilate was swayed by the crowd , and he was , perhaps God hardened his heart so that our sins could be atoned for. By: Amber Gregg - December 20, 2006 - Public Category: Jesus Before Pilate and Herod

This is because he knows what they will do to all his speakings and i quote, If I tell you, you won`t believe, and if I ask, you will in no way answer me or let me go. From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God. By: Bol Joseph Agau - December 20, 2006 - Public Category: Jesus Before Pilate and Herod

They were prepared to let him go but the people condemned him. He doesn`t reply because he belongs to the Kingdom. He is not of this world. The Father is far more powerful and does not need recognition or approval. We have to aknwoledge him though though. Recognition should come from them. That`s why he challenges them with a question. He`s very confident and positively provocative. The elders have to say you are the Christ recognising that what was prophesised in the OT they have treasured - should have treasured - is true. He challenges them but less the Romans who were not anticipated his coming. He hasn`t broken any eartlly Roman law and he si not a threat. this is why the disappoinyted jews who misunderstood the message condemned him. Herod expected a powerful man in the sense of earthly power or some kind of magician. Which Christ is not. He tempts him like the devil. They believe and are struck by his steadfast reply and attitude but not enough as they are afraid of the mob: they fear a loss of eartly power so they dont recognise him in front of the multitudes.

Testing Faith again
They want him to deny that. If he did he would prove to be selfish and disobedient. He is facing all of this for us to cleanse us from our sins and to put our Faith to test. Gives us the opportunity to partake of that salvation. Do you aknowledge me/the Father? And it works on them. They seem to aknowledge him but carry on in the persecution. We don`t know how many of them. Pilate was about to save him but the crowd condemned him. They denyed the elders too but most of all Jesus. The point is not I know that i am but do YOU/WE know that He is? that`s the key to the gate that he is always offering us.

As soon as it was
day, the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together, both
chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council,
saying, "If you are
the Christ, tell us."
But he said to them, "If I tell you, you won't
believe, and if I ask,
you will in no way answer me or let me go. From now on, the Son of Man will
be seated at the right hand of the power of God." They all said,
"Are you then the Son of God?"
He said to them, "You say it, because I
AM." They said, "Why
do we need any more witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own
mouth!"
The whole company of
them rose up and brought him before Pilate. They began to accuse him, saying,
"We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to
Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king."
Pilate asked him,
"Are you the King of the Jews?"
He answered him, "So you say." Pilate said to the
chief priests and the multitudes, "I find no basis for a charge
against this man."
But they insisted,
saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea,
beginning from Galilee even to this place." But when Pilate heard Galilee
mentioned, he asked if the man was a Galilean. When he found out that he was in
Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem
during those days.
Now when Herod saw
Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long
time, because he had heard many things about him. He hoped to see some
miracle done by him. He
questioned him with many words, but he gave no answers. The chief priests and the
scribes stood, vehemently accusing him. Herod with his soldiers
humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they
sent him back to Pilate. Herod and Pilate became friends
with each other that very day, for before that they were enemies with each
other.
Pilate called
together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said to them, "You
brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and see, I have
examined him before you, and found no basis for a charge against this man
concerning those things of which you accuse him. Neither has Herod, for I sent
you to him, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him. I will therefore chastise him
and release him."
Now he had to release
one prisoner to them at the feast. But they all cried out together,
saying, "Away with this man! Release to us Barabbas!"--one who was thrown into prison
for a certain revolt in the city, and for murder.
Then Pilate spoke to
them again, wanting to release Jesus, but they shouted, saying,
"Crucify! Crucify him!"
He said to them the
third time, "Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no
capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him."
But they were urgent
with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. Their voices and the
voices of the chief priests prevailed. Pilate decreed that what they
asked for should be done. He released him who had been
thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but
he delivered Jesus up to their will.
