Letter "T" » The Council
«Peace is not made at the council table or by treaties, but in the hearts of men.»
«The council now beginning rises in the Church like the daybreak, a forerunner of most splendid light.»
«Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: / But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.»
«Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death; / But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, / And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.»
«Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.»
«Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council, / Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.»
«Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me? / And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.»
«Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space; / And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.»
