“They were insistent, with loud voices asking that He be crucified. And their voices began to prevail” (v23). Jesus had been arrested, taken before the Jewish Council of Elders, then before the chief priests and scribes (22:66-71). The whole body of the council, chief priests and scribes “got up” (23:1) and took Him before Pilate. Pilate sent Jesus to Herod who sent Him back to Pilate (8-18). No one, not one in authority, found Him guilty. 

For what then did Jesus die – or better, for whom? “He Himself is the payment for our sins, and not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world” (1 John 2:2). Neither Pilate nor Herod knew it, but they crucified the One who would have saved them.
