Sanhedrin
Sanhedrin (from Greek
synedrion, ‘council’) The supreme court of the
JEWISH PEOPLE, headed by the high priest, before the fall of
JERUSALEM in 70 AD. It was probably founded around the 2nd century BC. Under the Romans its jurisdiction covered Palestinian Jews in civil and religious matters, though capital sentences required Roman confirmation.
