Context

Jesus before Herod

⁹Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer.¹⁰Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.¹¹And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

Summary

In this verse, we see Herod's reaction to Jesus during His trial before Pilate. Herod was pleased to see Jesus because he hoped to see Him perform a miracle. However, Jesus remained silent and did not entertain Herod's requests. This passage highlights Jesus' unwavering commitment to His mission and His refusal to engage in mere spectacle or entertainment. It also underscores the contrast between Jesus' divine authority and the earthly powers of Herod and Pilate, ultimately pointing to the fulfillment of God's plan for salvation through Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross.

Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

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 honor of truth and innocence. Quesnel.

Jesus before Herod
