Matthew 26:59, 27:1; 1 Peter 3:18

Now the chief priests and the whole council were seeking false testimony against Jesus that they might put him to death,

When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, (ESV)
