Context of Luke 23:5

3So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied. 4Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.” But they insisted, “He stirs up the people all over Judea by his teaching. He started in Galilee and has come all the way here.” 6On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean. 7When he learned that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.

They saw that there was a prospect of losing their cause, and they attempted to press on Pilate the point that would be most likely now to affect him.
