AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 23:1 Then the whole assembly got up and brought Him before Pilate. |
Bible Question: How many people were in the body before Pilate? |
Bible Answer: Luke 22:66 identifies the body as the council of the Elders, otherwise known as the Sanhedrin. The Sanhedrin was basically the Jewish Supreme Court and traditionally numbered 70 members, after the 70 Elders who assisted Moses in judging Israel (Num. 11:16-24). So, the body was a quite large number of people. It may even have included other witnesses and family or friends (see the reference to the crowd in Luke 23:4). I hope this helps! Tim Moran |
