Mark 14:59 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:59

But, neither so did their witness agree together.
] Their witness did agree together, for they both witnessed the same thing; but not so as to found upon it the charge of a capital crime against him; their witness was not so, (ish) , "equal", was not answerable to their desires, nor sufficient to convict him of a capital crime, for which they could condemn him to death, as before observed on ( Mark 14:56 ) .
