Where did Pilate judge Jesus?

It was the custom for procurators (Pontius Pilate) to reside in Jerusalem during the great feast days. While in Jerusalem, Pontius Pilate would stay at his official residence in Herod's palace. It was outside of this building that Jesus was tried as it was forbidden for Jews to enter a Gentiles home or business.


Who was the judge that the Romans brought Jesus to?

Jesus was brought from Caiaphas' house to appear before Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea. The Jewish leaders charged Jesus with subversion of both Israel and Rome. Two of their charges were designed especially to get Pilate's attention. The first was that Jesus opposed paying taxes to Caesar and that Jesus claimed to be king. Finding no fault in Him, Pilate summoned Jesus into Herod's palace and questioned Him further. In the course of the conversation, Pilate learned Jesus was a Galilean and was under Herod's jurisdiction. So Pilate sent Jesus to Herod, who had heard about Jesus and wanted to see Him. Herod had Jesus dressed in a robe and sent back to Pilate. When Jesus came back, Pilate told the Jewish leaders that neither he nor Herod could find Jesus guilty of a crime that brought with it the death penalty.

Rather than having problems with Jewish leaders, Pilate relented and ordered that Jesus be crucified.
