- O congregation:
- "[[A Psalmª of Asaph.]]ª Godª standethª° in the congregationª of the mighty;ª he judgethª° amongª the gods.ª ... How long¹¹ will ye judgeª° unjustly,ª and acceptª° the personsª of the wicked?ª Selah.ª" {Psa 82:1-2} + "And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ Moses,ª Gatherª° unto me seventyª menª of the eldersª¹ of Israel,ª whom¹ thou knowestª° to be the eldersª of the people,ª and officersª° over them; and bringª° them unto¹ the tabernacleª of the congregation,ª that they may standª° there¹ with¹ thee." {Num 11:16} + "So I tookª°¹ the chiefª of your tribes,ª wiseª men,²¹ and known,ª° and madeª° them headsª over¹ you, captainsª over thousands,ª and captainsª over hundreds,ª and captainsª over fifties,ª and captainsª over tens,ª and officersª° among your tribes.ª ... And I chargedª°¹ your judgesª° at that¹ time,ª saying,ª° Hearª° [the causes] between¹ your brethren,ª and judgeª° righteouslyª between¹ [every] manª and his brother,ª and the strangerª [that is] with him." {Deu 1:15-16} + "So all¹ the eldersª of Israelª cameª° to¹ the kingª to Hebron;ª and kingª Davidª madeª° a leagueª with them in Hebronª beforeª the LORD:ª and they anointedª°¹ Davidª kingª over¹ Israel.ª" {2Sm 5:3} + "Thenª assembled togetherª° the¹ chief priests,ª andª the¹ scribes,ª andª the¹ eldersª of the¹ people,ª untoª the¹ palaceª of the¹ high priest,ª who² was calledª° Caiaphas,ª" {Mtt 26:3} + "Whenª the morningª was come,ª° allª the¹ chief priestsª andª eldersª of the¹ peopleª tookª° counselª againstª Jesusª toª put²° him² to death:ª°¹" {Mtt 27:1} + "And,ª behold,ª° [there was] a manª namedª Joseph,ª a¹ counsellor;ª [and he was] a goodª²° man,ª andª a just:ª ... (The sameª had²°¹ notª consentedª°²° to the¹ counselª andª deedª of them;)ª [he was] ofª Arimathaea,ª a cityª of the¹ Jews:ª² whoª alsoª himselfª waited forª° the¹ kingdomª of God.ª" {Lke 23:50-51} + "Andª when they heardª° [that], they enteredª° intoª the¹ templeª early in the morning,ªª andª taught.ª° Butª the¹ high priestª came,ª° andª they¹ that were withª him,ª and called²° the council² together,ª°¹¹ andª allª the¹ senateª of the¹ childrenª of Israel,ª andª sentª° toª the¹ prisonª to have²° themª brought.ª°" {Act 5:21}
