Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

and

Here, the word Now introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: [Then]

τῷ ὄχλῳ τὸ ἱκανὸν ποιῆσαι

˱for˲_the crowd ¬the much /to/_do

Alternate translation: [to make the crowd happy by doing what they wanted him to do]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

παρέδωκεν τὸν Ἰησοῦν

gave_over ¬the Jesus

Here Mark implies that Pilate handed Jesus over to his soldiers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [he handed Jesus over to his soldiers]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

φραγελλώσας

/having/_flogged_‹him›

Here Mark implies that Pilate had his soldiers flog Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [having commanded his soldiers to flog him]

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

φραγελλώσας

/having/_flogged_‹him›

Flogging was a Roman penalty in which soldiers whipped a person with a whip to which were attached pieces of bone and metal to increase the whip’s capacity to do harm to the person being flogged. If your readers would not be familiar with this form of punishment, you could explain explicitly what flogging was. Alternate translation: [having whipped him with a whip to which were attached pieces of bone and metal]

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

ἵνα

in_order_that

The phrase so that introduces a purpose for which Pilate handed Jesus over. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a purpose clause. Alternate translation: [in order that]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

σταυρωθῇ

˱he˲_/may_be/_crucified

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who would do the action, it is clear from the context that it would be Pilate’s soldiers. Alternate translation: [the soldiers might crucify him]
