Markus 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).

Markus 15:16 In-Context

14 Doch Pilatus zeide tot hen: Wat heeft Hij dan kwaads gedaan? En zij riepen te meer: Kruis Hem!

15 Pilatus nu, willende der schare genoeg doen, heeft hun Bar-abbas losgelaten, en gaf Jezus over, als hij Hem gegeseld had, om gekruist te worden.

16 En de krijgsknechten leidden Hem binnen in de zaal, welke is het rechthuis, en riepen de ganse bende samen;

17 En deden Hem een purperen mantel aan, en een doornenkroon gevlochten hebbende, zetten Hem die op;

18 En begonnen Hem te groeten, zeggende: Wees gegroet, Gij Koning der Joden!
