Mark 15
1 Very early in the morning the chief priests met together with [the rest of] the Jewish council, [in order to decide how to accuse Jesus before the Roman governor. Their guards] tied Jesus’ hands [again]. They took him to [the house of] Pilate, [the governor, and they started to accuse him, saying] “[Jesus is claiming that he is a king!]!”

5 But [even though Jesus was not guilty], he did not say anything more. The result was that Pilate was very much surprised.

10 [He asked this] because he realized what the chief priests were wanting to do. They were accusing Jesus because they were jealous of him [because many people were becoming his disciples].
to know for that/since: that through/because of envy to deliver it/s/he the/this/who high-priest
11 But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].

12 Pilate said to them again, “[If I release Barabbas], what do you want me to do with the man whom [some of] you Jews say is [your] king?”
the/this/who then Pilate again to answer (to say *N(k)O*) it/s/he which? therefore/then to will/desire to do/make: do which to say: call (the/this/who *no*) king the/this/who Jew

15 So, because Pilate wanted to please the crowd, he released Barabbas for them. Then, after [his soldiers] had whipped Jesus with leather straps into which they had fastened metal pieces, [Pilate told the soldiers to take him away] in order that he would be crucified {they would crucify him}.
