MARK 15:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.”
But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead — the crowd's change of request from Jesus to Barabbas is engineered by the chief priests. The same crowd whose presence had protected Jesus all week is now mobilized by the very leaders who feared them (Mark 11:18, 12:12, 14:1–2). The crowd manipulation is the chief priests' political masterstroke.
