Matthew Poole and continuators on Mark 15:1

1 AND straightway in the morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

See the Notes on Matth. 27.1.2. Pontius Pilate was the Roman Governour in Iudea at this time, Luke 3.1. The reasons of their carrying Christ to him, when they had condemned him to Death for Blasphemy (a crime cognoscible before them as appeareth in the case of Stephen Acts 7.) see in our Notes on Matthew; what time in the Morning they carried him before Pilate, is not said, only Iohn saith it was early, and we read it was the about the Sixth hour, when Pilate dismissed him, being by him condemned, (that is, with us twelve of the Clock, so probably they were with Pilate, by Six or Seven in the Morning. This Morning was the Morning after the evening in which they had eaten the Passover, and the first day of their feast of Vnleavened Bread. So little did they regard Gods Ordinance.
