'Elders' in the Bible

When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him to ask him to come and save his servant's life.

He said, "The Son of Man must suffer a great deal and be rejected by the elders, the high priests, and the scribes. Then he must be killed, but on the third day he will be raised."

One day, while Jesus was teaching the people in the Temple and telling them the good news, the high priests and the scribes came with the elders

Then Jesus told the high priests, the Temple police, and the elders, who had come for him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a bandit?

As soon as day came, the elders of the people, the high priests, and the scribes assembled and brought him before their Council.
