Marcos 15

And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
O Sinédrio era o conselho religioso judaico com 71 membros. A entrega a Pilatos (governador romano da Judeia 26-36 d.C.) era necessária, pois os romanos reservavam o direito de aplicar pena capital.
