Mark 15:1 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 15:1

And straightway in the morning
As soon as it was break of day, or daylight appeared:

the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and Scribes;
who were the principal men in the sanhedrim:

and the whole council;
which, on this extraordinary occasion, was convened; the result of which was, to bind Jesus, and deliver him up to the Roman governor, to be put to death by him, as a seditious person, and an enemy to Caesar, and accordingly they did so:

and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
The Syriac and Persic versions add, "the governor"; (See Gill on Matthew 27:1), (See Gill on Matthew 27:2).

2 “Are you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate. “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

3 The chief priests accused him of many things.

4 So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.”

5 But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.
