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 Herod was delighted when Jesus showed up. He had wanted for a long time to see him, he'd heard so much about him. He hoped to see him do something spectacular.
9 He peppered him with questions. Jesus didn't answer - not one word.
10 But the high priests and religion scholars were right there, saying their piece, strident and shrill in their accusations.
11 Mightily offended, Herod turned on Jesus. His soldiers joined in, taunting and jeering. Then they dressed him up in an elaborate king costume and sent him back to Pilate.
12 That day Herod and Pilate became thick as thieves. Always before they had kept their distance.
