Contextual Overview

1 And right away in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate. 2 And Pilate asked him, Are you the King of the Jews? And answering he says to him, You say. 3 And the chief priests accused him of many things. 4 And Pilate again asked him, saying, Do you answer nothing? look how many things they accuse you of. 5 But Jesus no more answered anything; insomuch that Pilate marveled. 6 Now at the feast he used to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked of him. 7 And there was one called Barabbas, [lying] bound with those that had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder. 8 And the multitude went up and began to ask him [to do] as he usually did for them. 9 And Pilate answered them, saying, Do you want that I release to you the King of the Jews? 10 For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.

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.
