“When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:”
King James Version (KJV)
27:1 In the morning - As the sanhedrim used to meet in one of the courts of the temple, which was never opened in the night, they were forced to stay till the morning before they could proceed regularly, in the resolution they had taken to put him to death. #Mark 15:1|; Luke 22:66; 23:1; John 18:28.
