“And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.”
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 — they insisted (episcyron, were more insistent): the Sanhedrin's pressure in the face of the acquittal. The Galilee reference gives Pilate an exit: Galilee is Herod Antipas's jurisdiction.
