God told Moses to bring 70 elders to stand with Moses in the tent of meeting from Numbers 11:16...........Later there was 120 elders in every city of Judea , and three judges for every smaller villages who were called the Sanhedrin ................... These Sanhedrin were made up of Pharisees and Sadducees.........Jesus called the Pharisees leaven which meant arrogant , as they were puffed up like bread leaven in pride and arrogance ........ Sadducees did not believe in spirits or the after life ... And then Caiaphas was of the Sadducees belief
I think it is high time we remember what Jesus taught about Judaism.
One thing your link is wrong about...
Appointment and Promotion of Members.
According to R. Jose b. Ḥalafta, the members of the Great Bet Din were required to possess the following qualifications: scholarship, modesty, and popularity among their fellow men (Tosef., Ḥag. ii. 9; Sanh. 88b). According to an interpretation in Sifre, Num. 92 (ed. Friedmann, p. 25b), they had also to be strong and courageous. Only such were eligible, moreover, as had filled three offices of gradually increasing dignity, namely, those of local judge, and member successively of two magistracies at Jerusalem (Jose b. Ḥalafta, l.c.). R. Johanan, a Palestinian amora of the third century, enumerates the qualifications of the members of the Sanhedrin as follows: they must be tall, of imposing appearance, and of advanced age; and they must be learned and must understand foreign languages as well as some of the arts of the necromancer (Sanh. 19a). - SANHEDRIN - JewishEncyclopedia.com

Necromancy (/ˈnɛkrəˌmænsi, -roʊ-/[1][2]) is a supposed practice of magic involving communication with the deceased – either by summoning their spirit as an apparition or raising them bodily – for the purpose of divination, imparting the means to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge, to bring someone back from the dead, or to use the deceased as a weapon, as the term may sometimes be used in a more general sense to refer to black magic or witchcraft.

And who ever did that?...It says that he must understand them...Not practice them...So, you are showing your ignorance...
And the article was wrong, there is documentation on how they are chosen...So, the author lied...
They were the Judge and Jury. They made their decisions based on Jewish Law and witnesses who saw the Laws be broken.
So let's take thread in a more logical path: All the disciples/apostles of Jesus Christ gave false witness against him, hence they were found not guilty and went out into the world. While out in the world they recanted what they had done by shifting the blame onto someone else for giving false witness thus making themselves look innocent and someone else be guilty when they weren't.

Ah, thankyou for the perspective.
If I may offer another. While catching up on history I took notice of the constant rotating role of the High priesthood postion. Until the temple was razed( defiled)...
Where did the preisthood go?
Or maybe I am confusing the preisthood with the council.

Rather the more logical path is that they are a group of corrupted Jews who didn't even have a consensus on what the Scripture might have said. Members are mainly Sadducees and Pharisees. The Pharisees has one set of concepts uphold by the Jews in majority while the Sadducees had another different set of concepts, they are basically politicians and the rich. The Pharisees had 613 laws to enforce while the Sadducees only reckoned the written laws in the first 5 books of the Scripture. The mixture of them is naturally a compromise, a political correctness at best whenever judge and jury are concerned. The NT describes them in a more logical way, including the consideration of Roman influence and Herod influence.
Christianity was a legal sect of Judaism and Paul along with other believers bowed down to the priests of Judaism and put themselves under their authority proving who the authority was.
Paul proved that he never stopped keeping the law and that he never taught Jews not to keep the laws of Judaism.
If Paul is a liar and a pretender who says one thing to save his life in court, and then says another thing when he is not standing before the judge, then Paul is not only a two faced coward, he is a man with no integrity and guilty of being a false prophet who needs to be stoned to death along with everyone else who would turn the children of Israel against the laws of Moses that God demands his people to keep.
It is not both ways, he is either a liar and traitor to his people as a false prophet who teaches against the law or he is not.
If he is a false prophet who speaks against Jerusalem and teaches Jews not to keep the law then he CLEARLY deserves death by the law.
