'Council' in the Bible

as both the high priest and the whole council of elders can testify about me. After I received letters from them to the brothers, I traveled to Damascus to bring those who were prisoners there to be punished in Jerusalem.

After Festus conferred with his council, he replied, “You have appealed to Caesar; to Caesar you will go!”

Do not neglect the gift that is in you; it was given to you through prophecy, with the laying on of hands by the council of elders.
