Connecting Statement:
Pilate continues speaking to the Jewish leaders and to the crowd.
No, nor does Herod
We can understand what Herod did not do from what Pilate said about himself in verse 14. Alternate translation: "Nor does Herod find guilt in this man" or "Even Herod thinks he is innocent" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-ellipsis)
nor does Herod, for
"nor does Herod, because" or "nor does Herod. We know this because"
he sent him back to us
"Herod sent Jesus to return to us." The word "us" refers to Pilate, his soldiers, and the priests and scribes, but not those who were listening to Pilate. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-exclusive)
nothing worthy of death has been done by him
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "he has not done anything to deserve a death sentence" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive)
