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 At earliest dawn, after the High Priests had held a consultation with the Elders and Scribes, they and the entire Sanhedrin bound Jesus and took Him away and handed Him over to Pilate.

2 So Pilate questioned Him. "Are *you* the King of the Jews?" he asked. "I am," replied Jesus.

3 Then, as the High Priests went on heaping accusations on Him,

4 Pilate again and again asked Him, "Do you make no reply? Listen to the many charges they are bringing against you."

5 But Jesus made no further answer: so that Pilate wondered.
