Contextual Overview

1 THEN the whole company of them rose up, and brought him to Pilate; 2 And began to accuse him, saying, We found this man misleading our people, and forbidding to pay the head-tax to Caesar; and he says concerning himself that he is a King, even the Christ. 3 Pilate asked him and said, Are you the king of the Jews? He said to him, You say that. 4 Then Pilate said to the high priests and the people, I cannot find any fault against this man. 5 But they shouted and said, He has stirred up our people, teaching throughout Judaea, and beginning from Galilee even to this place. 6 When Pilate heard the name Galilee, he asked if the man was a Galilean. 7 And when he knew that he was under the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him to Herod, because he was in Jerusalem in those days. 8 When Herod saw Jesus he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle by him. 9 And he asked him many words; but Jesus gave him no answer. 10 But the high priests and the scribes stood, and accused him bitterly.

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.
