Mark 15:6 Cross References - JMNT

⁶ Now corresponding to [the] festival (or: feast), he was customarily releasing to them one prisoner – whomever they had been requesting by petition.

² "You folks have observed and so know that after two days (= two days from now) the Passover is happening (or: is progressing in occurrence), and so the Son of the Man (= Adam's Son; = the eschatological messianic figure; the representative human) is presently going through the process of being turned over [leading] into the [situation for Him] to be put to death upon an execution stake (or: crucified)."

⁵ However, one after another, they kept on saying, "Not during the festival (Feast), so that no riot (or: uproar; outcry) may happen among the people!"

¹⁵ Now corresponding to [the] Feast (or: festival), the governor had normally been accustomed to release one prisoner to the crowd – whomever they had been wanting (desiring); ¹⁶ and they had been holding at that time a notorious (or: well-known) prisoner normally called Jesus [other MSS omit: Jesus] Barabbas (or: Bar-Abbas; = son of [the] father). ¹⁷ Therefore, after their having been gathered together, Pilate said to them [i.e., the crowd], "Whom (or: Which one) are you people now wanting (desiring) that I should release to (or: for) you: Jesus [other MSS omit: Jesus] Barabbas, or Jesus, the one now being call 'Christ (Anointed; = Messiah) '?" ¹⁸ You see, he had seen as was now aware that they turned Him in (or: handed Him over) because of envy. ¹⁹ Now during his continued sitting upon the public elevated place (a step, platform or place ascended by steps to speak in public assembly; dais; = an official bench of a judge or public official), his wife sent off [a message] to him [which was] saying, " [Let there be] nothing [between, or, pertaining to] you and that just (innocent; righteous; rightwised) man, for I experienced many things today down from a dream (or: in association with a trance) because of him!" ²⁰ But the chief (ranking) priests and elders persuaded the crowds, to the end that they, themselves, would ask for Barabbas – and so they would destroy Jesus. ²¹ Now in giving a calculated response, the governor said to them, "Whom are you people now wanting, from the two, [that] I should release to (or: for) you?" So they, themselves, said, "Barabbas!" ²² Pilate continues saying to them, "What, then, shall I proceed doing [with] Jesus – the being repeatedly termed, or called, 'Christ (or: Anointed; = Messiah) '?" They are all saying, "Let him be at once put to death on a stake (or: crucified)!" ²³ So the governor affirms, "For what? Did he do something bad, worthless or ugly?" But they kept on crying out (or: shouted) all the more, and louder, repeatedly saying, "Let him be at once put to death on a stake (or: crucified)!" ²⁴ Now, seeing that it continues benefiting nothing, but to the contrary, an uproar was progressively developing into a riot, Pilate, taking water, washes off his hands down in the presence of and facing the crowd, while saying, I am (or: continue being) without penalty (guiltless; immune; not liable to punishment or responsible) from this man's blood. You people will proceed seeing (or: You folks see [to it])!" ²⁵ Then, giving a decided reply, all the people said, "His blood [is] upon us (or: [be splattered] on us; = the responsibility for his death falls on us), and upon our children!" ²⁶ At that point he released Barabbas to them, yet, upon scourging (severely whipping and beating) Jesus, he gave Him over with the purpose that He would be put to death on a stake (crucified).

¹⁶ "Therefore, after disciplining and chastising (= flogging) him, I will release him (or: loose him away). ¹⁷ [this vs. omitted by most texts, but is in some MSS: Now he was normally having an obligation to release one [prisoner] to them, in accord with {the} festival.] ¹⁸ But they, as it were with one voice of an entire multitude, cried out – some screaming; some yelling; some shrieking – repeatedly saying, "Be lifting this one up (or: Proceed in taking this one away)!... yet at once release to (or: for) us Barabbas (meaning: the [or: a] father's son)!" ¹⁹ – which was a man having been thrown into the prison because of a certain rebellion (incident where folks took a stand and were posturing as for a riot or an uprising) occurring within the City, and [for] murder. ²⁰ Now again, Pilate shouts to them – still wanting and intending to release Jesus – ²¹ but they kept on yelling and shouting [back], repeatedly saying, "Be crucifying!... proceed putting him to death on an execution stake!" ²² Now [for the] third [time] he said to them, "Why? What evil (or: worthless thing) did this man do (or: = What has he done wrong; What crime has this man committed)? I find (or: found) nothing deserving of death in him. Therefore, after disciplining and chastising (= flogging) [him], I will proceed in releasing him." ²³ But the men began continued laying more on, pressing the issue in loud voices, repeatedly demanding Him to be crucified (put to death on an execution stake). And their voices – along with [those of] the chief priests – continued increasingly strong, so as to prevail. ²⁴ And so Pilate came upon a decision and gave sentence for their demand to come to be (to happen; to be birthed). ²⁵ So he released the one whom they kept on demanding – the man having been thrown into prison because of insurrection and murder. But he turned over Jesus to their will and intent.

³⁹ "Now for you people there is a joint custom of intimate friendship and intercourse, for our mutual use, to the end that I should release one man to you within (at; during) the Passover. Are you men therefore continuing deliberately intended and purposed to the end that I should release to you the king of the Jews (or: Judeans)?" ⁴⁰ Then they all yelled again, saying, "Not this fellow, but rather, Bar-Abba [meaning: a father's son, or: the son of the father]!" Now Bar-Abba had been a robber (one who appropriates what is not his by violence, and openly).

¹⁶ At that time, therefore, he [Pilate] gave Him over to them, to the end that He would be crucified (put to death on a stake). They then took Jesus alongside and led Him away.

²⁷ Now with two years being fulfilled (= at the end of two years), Felix received a successor, Porcius Festus. Yet continuing in desiring to lay up favor for himself with the Jews, Felix left Paul behind imprisoned (or: bound).

⁹ Now Festus, presently desiring and intending to lay up favor with the Jews, in making a calculated response to Paul, said, "Are you now willing to be going up into Jerusalem, to be judged there before me concerning these matters?"
