Commentators emphasize that this verse provides a powerful, twofold legal declaration of Jesus's innocence. Both the Roman governor, Pilate, and the Jewish ruler, Herod, examined the charges and found no basis for a death sentence. As one scholar notes, having Jesus declared innocent by two different authorities provided the strongest possible evidence that He was blameless.
