Mark 15:3

3 And the chief priests said a number of things against him.

Mark 15:3 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 15:3

And the chief priests accused him of many things
As that he was a magician, and a blasphemer, and gave out that he was the Son of God; and that he made himself a king, and even forbad the people to give tribute to Caesar, and moved discord, sedition, and rebellion throughout the land;

but he answered nothing.
This clause is wanting in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions; but is in the Greek text of the Complutensian edition, and in the Ethiopic version, and agrees with ( Matthew 27:12 ) , (See Gill on Matthew 27:12).

Mark 15:3 In-Context

1 And the first thing in the morning the chief priests, with those in authority and the scribes and all the Sanhedrin, had a meeting, and put cords round Jesus, and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate.

2 And Pilate put a question to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he, answering, said to him, You say so.

3 And the chief priests said a number of things against him.

4 And Pilate again put a question, Do you say nothing in answer? see how much evil they say you have done.

5 But Jesus gave no more answers, so that Pilate was full of wonder.
