Contextual Overview

1 And the whole assembly of them arose, and brought him to Pilatos. 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We have found this who deludeth our people, and forbiddeth that tribute [fn] unto Caesar we should give, saying of himself that he is the King Meshicha. 3 But Pilatos asked him, and said to him, Art thou the king of the Jihudoyee ? He saith to him, Thou hast said. 4 And Pilatos said to the chief priests and to the assembly, I find no occasion against this man. 5 But they cried out and said, He commoveth our people while he teacheth throughout all Jihud, beginning from Galila unto this place. 6 Pilatos, however, when he heard the name of Galila, asked if the man were a Galiloya. 7 And when he knew that he was from the limit of the jurisdiction of Herodes, he sent him unto Herodes, because that in Urishlem he was in those days. 8 And Herodes, when he saw Jeshu, was very glad; for he had desired to see him of a great time: for he had heard concerning him many things, and hoped that some sign he should see from him. 9 And many words he asked him; but Jeshu gave him no answer whatever. 10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and strenuously accused him.

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.
