Now [after] Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star at its rising and have come to worship him." And [when] King Herod heard [it], he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him, read more.
and [after] calling together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired from them where the Christ was to be born.

jewish Council » Over thirty years
But I say to you that everyone who is angry at his brother will be subject to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, 'Stupid fool!' will be subject to the council, and whoever says, 'Obstinate fool!' will be subject to fiery hell.
And they incited the people and the elders and the scribes, and they came up [and] seized him and brought [him] to the Sanhedrin.
So the chief priests and the Pharisees called together the Sanhedrin and said, "What are we doing? For this man is performing many signs!
And [when they] heard [this], they entered at daybreak into the temple [courts] and began teaching. Now [when] the high priest and those with him arrived, they summoned the Sanhedrin--even the whole council of elders of the sons of Israel--and sent to the prison to have them brought.
and [after] calling together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired from them where the Christ was to be born.
Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false testimony against Jesus in order that they could put him to death.
But on the next day, [because he] wanted to know the true [reason] why he was being accused by the Jews, he released him and ordered the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin to assemble, and he brought down Paul [and] had [him] stand before them.
