The '''Sanhedrin''' was a Jewish religous body that was the high court of interpreting Jewish religious laws. At the time of [[Jesus]] the [[Roman]] authorities allowed them to exhibit considerable political, cultural, religious influence, as well as having their own [[temple tax]] of the people.
The Sanhedrin was made up of [[Pharisees]] and [[Sadducees]]. The two groups did not necessarily get along, but tolerated each other for their greater position. They were made famous in history for their opposition to Jesus and his ministry. [[Caiaphas]] was the high priest at the time of Jesus' ministry, having replaced his father [[Annas]]. Both questioned Jesus and, along with the rest of the Sanhedrin, brought about his eventual death. Not all members of the Sanhedrin were against Jesus. [[Nicodemus]] and [[Joseph of Arimathea]] were both members of the Sanhedrin who secretly supported Jesus.
With the destruction of [[Jerusalem]] in 70 A.D. after the unsuccessful Jewish revolt against Roman authority, the Sanhedrin as it had been known was put to an end. Other 'Sanhedrins' were established in various cities, but they were never the same.
