It can also denote the advice or counsel given by such a group. In the New Testament, it often pertains to the formal gatherings of Jewish leaders or authorities, such as the Sanhedrin, who met to discuss and decide on religious and legal matters.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of the New Testament, "sumboulion" is frequently associated with the Jewish Sanhedrin, the highest religious court in Jerusalem. This body was composed of chief priests, elders, and scribes, and it played a significant role in the governance of Jewish religious and civil life under Roman rule. The Sanhedrin was responsible for interpreting Jewish law and had authority over religious matters, although its power was limited by Roman oversight.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4825.htm">sumboulos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>counsel, by impl. a council<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>conferred* (2), conspired* (1), conspiring (1), consultation (1), consulted* (1), council (1), plotted together (1), together (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4824: συμβούλιον</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">συμβούλιον</span></span>, <span class="greek2">συμβουλίου</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (<span class="greek2">σύμβουλος</span>); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">counsel,</span> which is given, taken, entered upon (PIut.
