14 ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς · Τί γὰρ ἐποίησεν κακόν; οἱ δὲ περισσῶς ἔκραξαν · Σταύρωσον αὐτόν.

Mark 15:14 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 15:14

Then Pilate said unto them
The third time, ( Luke 23:22 ) ;

why, what evil hath he done?
worthy of death. They had charged him with many things, but proved nothing against him. Pilate could find no fault in him, and judged him an innocent person, and therefore was loth to condemn him:

and they cried out the more exceedingly;
with louder voices, and greater vehemency, the more they found he was inclined to save him:

crucify him;
nothing short of death would satisfy them, and no other death but that of the cross; (See Gill on Matthew 27:22), (See Gill on Matthew 27:23).

Mark 15:14 In-Context

12 ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος πάλιν ἀποκριθεὶς ἔλεγεν ⸃ αὐτοῖς · Τί οὖν θέλετε ποιήσω ὃν λέγετε ⸃ τὸν βασιλέα τῶν Ἰουδαίων;

13 οἱ δὲ πάλιν ἔκραξαν · Σταύρωσον αὐτόν.

14 ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς · Τί γὰρ ἐποίησεν κακόν; οἱ δὲ περισσῶς ἔκραξαν · Σταύρωσον αὐτόν.

15 ὁ δὲ Πιλᾶτος βουλόμενος τῷ ὄχλῳ τὸ ἱκανὸν ποιῆσαι ἀπέλυσεν αὐτοῖς τὸν Βαραββᾶν, καὶ παρέδωκεν τὸν Ἰησοῦν φραγελλώσας ἵνα σταυρωθῇ.

16 Οἱ δὲ στρατιῶται ἀπήγαγον αὐτὸν ἔσω τῆς αὐλῆς, ὅ ἐστιν πραιτώριον, καὶ συγκαλοῦσιν ὅλην τὴν σπεῖραν.
