This is hardly an unbiased group. After Jesus resurrected Lazarus, the Sanhedrin decided that Jesus should die. (John 11:47-53) And just days ago the religious authorities conspired to seize Jesus and kill him. (Matthew 26:3, 4) Yes, even before his trial begins, Jesus is as good as condemned to death!
In addition to meeting illegally, the chief priest and others of the Sanhedrin are attempting to find witnesses who will give false evidence to build the case against Jesus. They find many, but these cannot agree to their testimony. Finally, two come forward and claim: "We heard him say, 'I will throw down this temple that was made with hands, and in three days I will build another not made with hands.'" (Mark 14:58) Yet even these men do not fully agree.
