Mathew's account of the Trial of Jesus is three verses longer than Mark's during Pilate's intervention, to what is this attributable?

Mark's gospel is very terse. Most events are shorter in Mark's retelling than in other gospels.

Also, Matthew was written to the Jews to show that Christ was the King they rejected, while Mark was written to the Greeks to show Christ as the perfect man. These different goals make certain details more important to one writer than another. Matthew makes a point of the facts that Pilate washed his hands of the judgment against Christ and that the Jews accepted the fact this His blood was on them and their children. Their King was put to death with their consent. Mark does not relate these details, possible since they would unnecessarily lengthen the account.

As with any person who reports the news. You need different perspectives. You deal with standard bystanders and professionals. I believe that the 4 books that recite his life are due to there different prespectives. Everybody see's different things and reports them in a manner that they were raised and the only way to get a decent truth through it all is to get many understandings from different backgrounds. End the end not everybody views the same thing so what is right for one may not be right for another again nobody sees everything

Mark's synthesis abilities?

Considering that Mark didn't witness the process and never met Jesus (at least not on Earth), maybe some parts are just missing.

But Matthew's gospel was written later that Mark's, and as far as we know, none of the gospel writers witnessed Jesus' encounter with Pilate.
