Mark 15:6 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Now at that feast— Κατα εορτην, after the manner, or according to the nature of that feast. See Romans 3:5.Galatians 3:15. 1 Corinthians 3:3. Now the least of the passover being celebrated bythe Jews in memory of their release from Egypt, it was agreeable to the nature of the feast to make this release at that time, and therefore customary. See Whitby, and on Matthew 27:15.
