'Rulers' in the Bible

"And now, brethren, I know that it was in ignorance that you did it, as was the case with your rulers also.

The next day a meeting was held in Jerusalem of their Rulers, Elders, and Scribes,

Then Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit, and he replied, "Rulers and Elders of the people,

The kings of the earth came near, and the rulers assembled together against the Lord and against His Anointed.'"

For the people of Jerusalem and their rulers, by the judgement they pronounced on Jesus, have actually fulfilled the predictions of the Prophets which are read Sabbath after Sabbath, through ignorance of those predictions and of Him.
