Context of Mark 15:3
1Very early the next morning, all the Jewish leaders met together. The leaders of the priests met with the leaders, the teachers of God's Law, and the other important Jews. They decided what they would do. They tied Jesus' hands and feet and they took him to Pilate's house. They put him under Pilate's authority. 2Pilate asked Jesus, ‘Are you the king of the Jews?’ Jesus replied, ‘You have said it.’ Then the leaders of the priests told Pilate that Jesus had done many bad things. 4So Pilate asked him again, ‘What is your answer? You should say something! Listen! They are saying that you have done many bad things.’ 5But Jesus still did not reply to what the men were saying against him. Pilate was very surprised about that.
