Council

There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.

But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.

And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,

Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.

But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,

And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,

And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.

On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.

And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.

But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.

Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would inquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.

And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would inquire somewhat of him more perfectly.

And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:

Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,

Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.
