Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'Though γερουσία and πρεσβυτέριον[a] refer to the same council of the Jews as the term συνέδριον[b] ({D:11.80}), this does not mean that the three terms are completely identical in meaning. The focus upon maturity of age and judgment as well as presumed social standing are more significant factors in γερουσία and πρεσβυτέριον[a] than in συνέδριον[b].'}

    DefinitionShort: a socio-political group acting as a judicial council
    Glosses: ['city council', 'council of judges']
    Comments: There are certain problems involved in the rendering of συνέδριον[a] as ‘city council,’ since in so many parts of the world a group which would be designated as a ‘city council’ would be primarily legislative rather than judicial in function. It is for that reason that συνέδριον[a] may be better translated in a number of instances as ‘the council which will judge you‘ or ‘before a group of men who will decide whether you have done right or wrong.’

    DefinitionShort: the highest Jewish council, exercising jurisdiction in civil and religious matters, but having no power over life and death or over military actions or taxation{N:001}
    Glosses: ['Sanhedrin', 'the council of the Jews']
    Comments: In a number of languages συνέδριον[b] can be rendered by a descriptive phrase, for example, ‘the most important council of the Jews’ or ‘the council that made decisions for the Jewish people.’
