Mark 15:3

3 The leading priests accused Jesus of many things.

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 Very early in the morning, the leading priests, the older leaders, the teachers of the law, and all the Jewish council decided what to do with Jesus. They tied him, led him away, and turned him over to Pilate, the governor.

2 Pilate asked Jesus, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus answered, "Those are your words."

3 The leading priests accused Jesus of many things.

4 So Pilate asked Jesus another question, "You can see that they are accusing you of many things. Aren't you going to answer?"

5 But Jesus still said nothing, so Pilate was very surprised.
