Luke 23:10 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 23:10

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; (See Gill on Mark 14:57) 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.

Luke 23:10 In-Context

8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he joyed full much; for long time he coveted to see him, for he heard many things of him, and hoped to see some token done of him [for he was coveting of much time to see him, for he heard many things of him, and hoped to see some miracle be done of him].
9 And he asked him in many words; and he answered nothing to him.
10 And the princes of priests and the scribes stood, steadfastly accusing him.
11 But Herod with his host despised him, and scorned him, and clothed him with a white cloak [with a white cloth], and sent him again to Pilate.
12 And Herod and Pilate were made friends from that day [And Herod and Pilate were made friends in that day]; for before they were enemies together.
