the high priest Caiaphas,

were assembled all the chief priests, and the elders, and the
Scribes;
even the whole sanhedrim, who met at Caiaphas's house, and were waiting there for Jesus; whom Judas with his band of soldiers and others, were gone to secure, and brng before them; (See Gill on Matthew 26:57).
