Mark 15:3

3 The chief priests brought many charges 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 It was very early in the morning. The chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law, and the whole Sanhedrin, made a decision. They tied Jesus up and led him away. Then they handed him over to Pilate.

2 "Are you the king of the Jews?" asked Pilate. "Yes. It is just as you say," Jesus replied.

3 The chief priests brought many charges against him.

4 So Pilate asked him again, "Aren't you going to answer? See how many things they charge you with."

5 But Jesus still did not reply. Pilate was amazed.
