Contextual Overview
1 Very early in the morning, the leading priests, the older Jewish leaders, the teachers of the law, and the whole high council decided what to do with Jesus. They tied him, led him away, and handed him over to Governor Pilate. 2 Pilate asked Jesus, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus answered, "Yes, that is right." 3 The leading priests accused Jesus of many things. 4 So Pilate asked Jesus another question. He said, "You can see that these people are accusing you of many things. Why don't you answer?" 5 But Jesus still did not answer, and this really surprised Pilate. 6 Every year at the Passover time the governor would free one prisoner—whichever one the people wanted. 7 There was a man in prison at that time named Barabbas. He and the rebels with him had been put in prison for committing murder during a riot. 8 The people came to Pilate and asked him to free a prisoner as he always did. 9 Pilate asked them, "Do you want me to free the king of the Jews?" 10 Pilate knew that the leading priests had handed Jesus over to him because they were jealous of him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the multitude crying aloud,.... The Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions read, and when the "multitude", or "people went up", to the place called the pavement, where the judgment seat was; and so it is read in Beza's most ancient copy; but the former reading is to be preferred:
began to desire [him to do] as he had ever done to them: that is, release a prisoner to them, as he had done at every passover, since he had been a governor over them.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Mark 15:8. The multitude crying aloud — αναβοησας. The word itself strongly marks the vociferations, or, to come nearer the original word, the bellowing of the multitude. It signifies, properly, a loud and long cry, such as Christ emitted on the cross. See the whole history of these proceedings against our Lord treated at large, on Matthew 27:0. Matthew 27:1-26, &c.
