Jesus was found innocent by Pilate in this fourth trial. When Pilate learned that Jesus was Galilean, he realized that he might be able to shift responsibility for the matter to someone else. He sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.
In the New Testament, the Sanhedrin trial of Jesus refers to the trial of Jesus before the Sanhedrin (a Jewish judicial body) following his arrest in Jerusalem and prior to his dispensation by Pontius Pilate.
