Vers. 21. And they called the Councel together, and all the Senate of the children of Israel.

The Syriack reads, they called their companions and the Elders of Israel: taking 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 here to mean either their fellows and companions in the same Sadducean Opinion and He∣resie, or their fellow Priests and Scribes which were not of the Sanhedrin: But since 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 will very harshly bear either of these senses, and constantly is used in another for the Sanhedrin or bench of Judges of the LXX Elders: I should take it so also in this place; and by 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 all the Senate, understand the Judges or Elders of the two other Judicatories which were erected, one in the outer Court gate, or in Solomons Porch, and the other in the inner or the beautiful gate of the Temple, consisting of three and twenty men a piece. Maymonid. in Sanhed. Per. 1. And so did this busie High Priest call together all the three Courts or Benches of Judges in Jerusalem, an hundred and se∣venteen Elders in all if there were a full appearance, the Lord so disposing it, that all his Apostles and all his chief enemies might deal it together: And now as that was fulfil∣led which Christ had spoken of them; They shall bring you before Councels for my name sake, so was also that which he had promised unto them, that it should be given them what they should speak, that their enemies should not be able to gainsay. But the Judges of the earth would not be wise nor instructed to serve the Lord and to kiss the son, therefore his anger shortly kindled, and Jerusalem perished in her unbelief.
