Contextual Overview

1Then the whole assembly got up and brought Him before Pilate. 2They began to accuse Jesus, asserting, "We found this Man misleading and perverting our nation and forbidding us to pay taxes to Caesar, and claiming that He Himself is Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed), a King." 3So Pilate asked Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And He answered him, "It is just as you say." 4Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, "I find no guilt in this Man." 5But they were insistent and said, "He stirs up the people [to rebel], teaching throughout Judea, starting from Galilee even as far as here [in Jerusalem]." 6When Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man was a Galilean. 7And when he learned that He belonged to the jurisdiction of Herod [Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee], he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time. 8When Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time because of what he had heard about Him, and was hoping to see some [miraculous] sign [even something spectacular] done by Him. 9And he questioned Him at some length, but Jesus made no reply. 10The chief priests and the scribes were standing there, continually accusing Him heatedly.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the chief priests and Scribes,.... The sanhedrim that followed him from Pilate's hall, to Herod's palace; fearing, lest Herod should be disposed to let him go, should he gratify him by working a miracle:

stood; before Herod; so witnesses, and accusers, used to do;

:-

and vehemently accused him; of the same things they had accused him before Pilate, with great bitterness and constancy, increasing, and aggravating the charges against him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Vehemently accused him - Violently or unjustly accused him, endeavoring to make it appear that he had been guilty of sedition in Herod’s province.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 23:10. The chief priests - vehemently accused him. — Corrupt priests and teachers are generally the most implacable enemies of Christ and his truth. Evil passions betray those who are slaves to them. An affected moderation would have rendered these accusers less suspected, their accusations more probable, and the envy less visible than this vehemence: but envy seldom or never consults prudence: and God permits this to be so for the honour of truth and innocence. Quesnel.
