'Council' in the Bible

Joseph of Arimathaea came, a highly respected member of the Council, who himself also was living in expectation of the Kingdom of God. He summoned up courage to go in to see Pilate and beg for the body of Jesus.

There was a member of the Council of the name of Joseph, a kind-hearted and upright man,

who came from the Jewish town of Arimathaea and was awaiting the coming of the Kingdom of God. He had not concurred in the design or action of the Council,

A few, however, attached themselves to him and believed, among them being Dionysius a member of the Council, a gentlewoman named Damaris, and some others.

Then, after conferring with the Council, Festus replied, "To Caesar you have appealed: to Caesar you shall go."
