Jesus had been tried soon after His arrest before Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin, the supreme council of the Jews, and there He had been condemned to death, not on the charge for which He had been arrested threatening to destroy the Temple for the evidence against Him had broken down, but for blasphemy during the course of His trial, when adjured by the high priest to declare whether He was the Christ.
The substance of the written sentence was this: 'I have been compelled, for fear of an insurrection, to yield to the wishes of the High Priests, the Sanhedrin, and the people, who tumultuously demanded the death of Jesus of Nazareth, whom they accused of having disturbed the public peace, and also of having blasphemed and broken their laws.

Again, it is very probable they had between their Sanhedrin and their synagogue a middle ecclesiastical court called The Presbytery, Luke xxii. 66, and Acts xxii. 5, and the whole presbytery. Let such as are expert in Jewish antiquities and their polity, consider and judge. 3.
He shrank into a shadowed corner and anxiously searched for Jesus. In this great house met the Sanhedrin, the great council of all the rulers of the Jews. Peter saw the rough soldier who had knocked him down standing outside the door. Jesus must be inside! There was nothing to do but wait. Peter began to feel cold. Near the center of the yard several men had built a charcoal fire.
