Context of Mark 15:10

8Then the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to release a prisoner for them, as was his custom. 9So Pilate asked them, “Do you want me to release the king of the Jews for you?” (For he knew that the chief priests had handed him over because of envy.) 11But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas instead. 12So Pilate spoke to them again, “Then what do you want me to do with the one you call king of the Jews?”
