And hee answered him, and sayd, Thou sayest it. 4 Then sayd Pilate to the hie Priests, and to the people, I finde no fault in this man. 5 But they were the more fierce, saying, He moueth the people, teaching throughout all Iudea, beginning at Galile, euen to this place. 6 Nowe when Pilate heard of Galile, he asked whether the man were a Galilean. 7 And when he knewe that he was of Herods iurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, which was also at Hierusalem in those dayes. 8 And when Herod sawe Iesus, hee was exceedingly glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him, and trusted to haue seene some signe done by him. 9 Then questioned hee with him of many things: but he answered him nothing. 10 The hie Priests also & Scribes stood forth, and accused him vehemently.

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.
