Marc 15:16 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 15:16

And the soldiers led him away into the hall
From the place called the pavement, where was the judge's bench, from which he passed sentence on Christ, to a large room,

called the praetorium,
or judgment hall; being the hall, or room, where the praetor, or Roman magistrate, kept his court of judicature; and is the same place the Jews would not go into, lest they should be defiled, and become unmeet to eat the Chagigah that day; and into which Pilate had Jesus more than once alone, ( John 18:28 John 18:33 ) ( 19:9 ) , but now he had a large company with him:

and they call together the whole band;
very likely the soldiers, into whose custody Jesus was put, and who led him away, were the four soldiers that attended his crucifixion, and parted his garments; but for greater diversion they got together the whole band to which they belonged; (See Gill on Matthew 27:27).

Marc 15:16 In-Context

14 Et Pilate leur dit: Mais quel mal a-t-il fait? Et ils crièrent encore plus fort: Crucifie-le.

15 Pilate donc, voulant contenter le peuple, leur relâcha Barabbas; et après avoir fait fouetter Jésus, il le livra pour être crucifié.

16 Alors les soldats l'emmenèrent dans l'intérieur du palais, c'est-à-dire au prétoire, et ils y assemblèrent toute la cohorte;

17 Et ils le revêtirent d'un manteau de pourpre, et lui mirent sur la tête une couronne d'épines qu'ils avaient tressées;

18 Et ils se mirent à le saluer, en disant: Salut, roi des Juifs!
