"And the whole company of them rose up, and brought him before Pilate." — Luke 23:1 (ASV)

And the whole multitude of them
Of the chief priests, Scribes, and elders; the whole of the sanhedrim, excepting Nicodemus, and Joseph of Arimathea, having in their court condemned Christ to death:

arose ;
from the council chamber, where they sat in judgment upon him:

and led him unto Pilate ,
the Roman governor, and into the praetorium, or judgment hall, where causes were tried by him; hither they brought Jesus, having bound him as a prisoner and a malefactor, that their sentence might be confirmed by civil authority, and that he might be put to the death of the cross, which was a Roman punishment.
