Mark 15:1
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.
And straightway in the morning,.... As soon as it was break of day, or daylight appeared:
the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes; who were the principal men in the sanhedrim:
and the whole council; which, on this extraordinary occasion, was convened; the result of which was, to bind Jesus, and deliver him up to the Roman governor, to be put to death by him, as a seditious person, and an enemy to Caesar, and accordingly they did so:
and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate. The Syriac and Persic versions add, "the governor";
