Mark 15:1

MARK—NOTE ON Mark 15:1 The whole council is the Sanhedrin. It did not have the right to execute a person. That right was reserved for Roman authorities, especially when dealing with popular figures. Pilate (see note on Luke 23:1) was temporarily in Jerusalem “to keep the peace” during the Passover. The Jewish authorities did not want to be busy with the case during the festive Passover day.
