Mark 15:3

15:3 Then ¹  the chief priests began to accuse him repeatedly.

Mark 15:18

15:18 They began to salute him: “Hail, king of the Jews!” ²

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

² tn Or “Long live the King of the Jews!”

sn The statement Hail, King of the Jews! is a mockery patterned after the Romans’ cry of Ave, Caesar (“Hail, Caesar!”).
