Mark 15:14

14 Pilatus vero dicebat eis quid enim mali fecit at illi magis clamabant crucifige eum

Mark 15:14 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 15:14

Then Pilate said unto them
The third time, ( Luke 23:22 ) ;

why, what evil hath he done?
worthy of death. They had charged him with many things, but proved nothing against him. Pilate could find no fault in him, and judged him an innocent person, and therefore was loth to condemn him:

and they cried out the more exceedingly;
with louder voices, and greater vehemency, the more they found he was inclined to save him:

crucify him;
nothing short of death would satisfy them, and no other death but that of the cross; (See Gill on Matthew 27:22), (See Gill on Matthew 27:23).
