Council
spoken of counsellors who sat in public trials with the governor
of a province (Acts 25:12).

The Jewish councils were the Sanhedrim, or supreme council of
the nation, which had subordinate to it smaller tribunals (the
"judgment," perhaps, in Matt. 5:21, 22) in the cities of
Palestine (Matt. 10:17; Mark 13:9). In the time of Christ the
functions of the Sanhedrim were limited (John 16:2; 2 Cor.
11:24). In Ps. 68:27 the word "council" means simply a company
of persons. (R.V. marg., "company.")

In ecclesiastical history the word is used to denote an
assembly of pastors or bishops for the discussion and regulation
of church affairs. The first of these councils was that of the
apostles and elders at Jerusalem, of which we have a detailed
account in Acts 15.

COUNCIL, legislation. This word signifies an assembly.
2. It was used among the Romans to express the meeting of only a part
of the people, and that the most respectable, in opposition to the
assemblies of the whole people.
3. It is now usually applied to the legislative bodies of cities and
boroughs.
4. In some states, as in Massachusetts, a body of men called the
council, are elected, whose duties are to advise the governor in the
executive part of the government. Const. of Mass. part 2, c. 2, s. 3, art. 1
and 2. See 14 Mass. 470; 3 Pick. 517; 4 Pick. 25 19 John. R. 58. In England,
the king's council are the king's judges of his courts of justice. 3 Inst.
125; 1 Bl. Com. 229.
