Bible Commentary

Mark 15:8

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

And the multitude went up and Began to ask him to do as he was wont to do unto them. Went up ( ἀναβὰς). This is the reading to be preferred to the old reading, "crying aloud" ( ἀναβοήσας). The reading ἀναβὰς is supported by the Sinaitic, the Vatican, and the Cambridge manuscripts; also by the Old Italic, the Gothic, and other versions.

The AEthiopic Version combines the two," going up and crying aloud."
