Trial before Herod
Luke alone mentions this attempt by Pilate to extricate himself from the twin perils of an unjust execution and an angry council. Sending him off to Herod must have seemed the perfect solution.
Lk 23:6-16
That ended up not working out so well for Pilate, and Jesus ended up right back in his lap.
That tends to happen when we try to pass the buck regarding him. We get to deal with him later, when our circumstances have grown more dire simply from refusing to do what we should.
