Mark 15:9
But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
But Pilate answered them; saying,.... Being satisfied of the innocence of Jesus, and being willing to dismiss him:
Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? he who is called so; and which he either said by way of derision both of Christ, and them; or else in order to prevail upon them to ask his release, it being scandalous and reproachful to put their king to death.
