'Council' in the Bible

So they ordered them to leave the Council and began to discuss the matter among themselves.

After the apostles heard this, they went into the Temple at daybreak and began to teach. The high priest and those who were with him arrived, called the Council and all the elders of Israel together, and sent word to the prison to have the men brought in.

When they brought them back, they made them stand before the Council, and the high priest began to question them.

When the Council heard this, they became furious and wanted to kill them.

But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law who was respected by all the people, stood up in the Council and ordered the men to be taken outside for a little while.

They left the Council, rejoicing to have been considered worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the Name.

They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes. Then they rushed at Stephen, grabbed him, and brought him before the Council.

Now then, you and the Council must notify the tribune to bring him down to you on the pretext that you want to look into his case more carefully, but before he arrives we'll be ready to kill him."

He answered, "The Jewish leaders have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the Council tomorrow as though they were going to examine his case more carefully.

I wanted to know the exact charge they were making against him, so I had him brought before their Council.
