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).

Mark 15:1 In-Context

1 At earliest dawn, after the High Priests had held a consultation with the Elders and Scribes, they and the entire Sanhedrin bound Jesus and took Him away and handed Him over to Pilate.

2 So Pilate questioned Him. "Are *you* the King of the Jews?" he asked. "I am," replied Jesus.

3 Then, as the High Priests went on heaping accusations on Him,

4 Pilate again and again asked Him, "Do you make no reply? Listen to the many charges they are bringing against you."

5 But Jesus made no further answer: so that Pilate wondered.
