{In the morning} (pr(9369)). The ratification meeting after
day. See on 烘t 26:1-5| for details. {Held a consultation}
(sumboulion poi(8873)antes). 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
 Lu 22:66-71 , who does not give the illegal night trial. {Bound
Jesus} (d(8873)antes ton I(8873)oun). 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 ( Mr 15:1  Mt 27:2 ). It is implied that he was unbound
while before Annas and then before Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin.
