And it came to pass on the morrow
The disciples being kept in custody all night:

that their rulers, and elders, and Scribes;
that is, their ecclesiastical rulers; the chief priests, who, with the Scribes, and elders of the people, made up the great council at Jerusalem, consisting of seventy one persons, so they are called in ( Matthew 26:3 Matthew 26:57 ) ( 27:1 ) ( Mark 14:53 ) ( 15:1 ) .
