Mark 15:10 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 15:10

For he knew that the chief priests
The Persic version reads in the singular, "the chief of the priests", or the high priest, Caiaphas,

had delivered him for envy;
at his popularity through his doctrine and miracles, and not from any principle of equity and justice, or from any regard to Caesar; (See Gill on Matthew 27:18).

8 So the crowd came and began to ask Pilate to do for them according to his custom.

9 Then he answered them, "Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?"

10 For he realized that it was out of jealousy that the chief priests had handed him over.

11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas for them instead.
