Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 6:11

"But they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus." — Luke 6:11 (ASV)

They were filled with madness.—The expression is peculiar to Saint Luke’s report.

Communed one with another.—It seems strange that Saint Luke, who in other respects seems to have had so many points of contact with people connected with the Herods (see Introduction), should have omitted the fact that Saint Mark records, that it was with the Herodians that the Pharisees took counsel. Possibly, however, his very acquaintance with the men so named may have made him reluctant to give a special prominence to the part they had taken against the Christ. Saint Mark, it will be remembered, says that they “took counsel” (or, held a council) that they might destroy Him.
