Mark 15:10 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 15:10

For he knew that the chief priests
The Persic version reads in the singular, "the chief of the priests", or the high priest, Caiaphas,

had delivered him for envy;
at his popularity through his doctrine and miracles, and not from any principle of equity and justice, or from any regard to Caesar; (See Gill on Matthew 27:18).

Mark 15:10 In-Context

8 The crowd came to Pilate and began to ask him to free a prisoner as he always did.

9 So Pilate asked them, "Do you want me to free the king of the Jews?"

10 Pilate knew that the leading priests had turned Jesus in to him because they were jealous.

11 But the leading priests had persuaded the people to ask Pilate to free Barabbas, not Jesus.

12 Then Pilate asked the crowd again, "So what should I do with this man you call the king of the Jews?"
