In this Councel and Consistory that was now gathered, the Evangelist exhibiteth varie∣ty of members:

First, Their Rulers: or the Chief Priests, the heads of the twenty four courses.

Secondly, Scribes: or other Doctors of the Tribe of Levi.

Thirdly, Elders: or the Seniors and Senators of the other Tribes.

Fourthly, Annas, the Nasi; or President of the Sanhedrin.

Fifthly, Caiaphas the High Priest, the Ab beth diu, the father of the Court.

Sixthly, John, as it seemeth, the son of Annas: the Governour of Gophins and Acra∣batena in the time of Nero, Joseph. de bello, lib. 2. cap. 25.

Seventhly, Alexander, called also Lysimachus and Alabarcha, of whom we shall have oc∣casion to discourse afterward.

Eighthly, As many as were of the High Priests kindred, Brethren or Cosens of that family: so that by this concourse of all these at this time, divers of whose employment and residence was at distance, it may be the rather supposed that this was at some solemn Festival that had brought them all to Jerusalem.
