This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

John, thought to be the son of Annas.



Alexander, a man of great repute amongst them, as Josephus says.



As many as were of the kindred of the high priest; their relation many times preferring them to a place in their great council, or sanhedrim.



Were gathered together at Jerusalem; or in Jerusalem; either such as were in the city, being called together on such an extraordinary occasion; or else they sent also unto men of greatest note, that lived nigh thereunto.
