This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Now when morning was come (prò„ias de genomenè„s). Genitive absolute. After dawn came the Sanhedrin held a formal meeting to condemn Jesus and so ratify the illegal trial during the night (Mar 15:1; Luk 22:66-71). Luke gives the details of this second ratification consultation. The phrase used, took counsel (sumboulion elabon) is a Latin idiom (consilium ceperunt) for sunebouleusanto.
