This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
In the morning (prōi). The ratification meeting after day. See Mat 26:1-5 for details.
Held a consultation (sumboulion poiēsantes). So text of Westcott and Hort (Vulgate consilium facientes), though they give hetoimasantes in the margin. The late and rare word sumboulion is like the Latin consilium. If hetoimasantes is the correct text, the idea would be rather to prepare a concerted plan of action (Gould). But their action was illegal on the night before and they felt the need of this ratification after dawn which is described in Luk 22:66-71, who does not give the illegal night trial.
Bound Jesus (dēsantes ton Iēsoun). He was bound on his arrest (Joh 18:12) when brought before Annas who sent him on bound to Caiaphas (Joh 18:24) and now he is bound again as he is sent to Pilate (Mar 15:1; Mat 27:2). It is implied that he was unbound while before Annas and then before Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin.
