Context of Luke 23:10

8When Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time because of what he had heard about Him, and was hoping to see some [miraculous] sign [even something spectacular] done by Him. 9And he questioned Him at some length, but Jesus made no reply. The chief priests and the scribes were standing there, continually accusing Him heatedly. 11And Herod with his soldiers, after treating Him with contempt and mocking and ridiculing Him, dressed Him in a gorgeous robe and sent Him back to Pilate. 12Now that very day Herod and Pilate became friends with each other—before this they had been enemies.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10The chief priests - vehemently accused him - Corrupt priests and teachers are generally the most implacable enemies of Christ and his truth.
