Contextual Overview
1 Early in the morning the head religious leaders of the Jews and other leaders and the teachers of the Law and all the court gathered together to talk about Jesus. Then they tied up Jesus and led Him away. They handed Him over to Pilate. 2 Pilate asked Jesus, "Are You the King of the Jews?" He said to Pilate, "What you say is true." 3 The religious leaders spoke many things against Him. Jesus did not say a word. 4 Pilate asked Him again, "Have You nothing to say? Listen to the things they are saying against You!" 5 Jesus did not say a word. Pilate was much surprised and wondered about it. 6 Each year at the special supper Pilate would let one person who was in prison go free. It would be the one the people asked for. 7 The name of one of those in prison was Barabbas. He, together with others, had killed people while working against the leaders of the country. 8 All the people went to Pilate and asked him to do as he had done before. 9 Pilate said, "Do you want me to let the King of the Jews go free?" 10 He knew the religious leaders had handed Jesus over to him because they were jealous.

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.
