Context of Mark 15:9

7Now there was the [person] named Barabbas bound with those who had made insurrection with [him], [and] that had committed murder in the insurrection. 8And the crowd crying out began to beg [that he would do] to them as he had always done. But Pilate answered them saying, Will ye that I release to you the King of the Jews? 10for he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up through envy. 11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd that he might rather release Barabbas to them.
