In the morning (πρω). The ratification meeting after day. See on  for details.

Held a consultation (συμβουλιον ποιησαντες). So text of Westcott and Hort (Vulgate consilium facientes), though they give ετοιμασαντες in the margin. The late and rare word συμβουλιον is like the Latin consilium. If ετοιμασαντες is the correct text, the idea would be rather to prepare a concerted plan of action (Gould). But their action was illegal on the night before and they felt the need of this ratification after dawn which is described in , who does not give the illegal night trial.

Bound Jesus (δησαντες τον Ιησουν). He was bound on his arrest () when brought before Annas who sent him on bound to Caiaphas () and now he is bound again as he is sent to Pilate (; ). It is implied that he was unbound while before Annas and then before Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin.
