Then when Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was filled with remorse and brought the thirty silver coins back to the ruling priests and elders (presbyterois | πρεσβυτέροις | dat pl masc),
Early in the morning, all the ruling priests and the elders (presbyteroi | πρεσβύτεροι | nom pl masc) of the people laid plans against Jesus, how they might put him to death.
Then the men who had laid hold of Jesus took him to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders (presbyteroi | πρεσβύτεροι | nom pl masc) were gathered.
While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived accompanied by a large crowd from the ruling priests and the elders (presbyterōn | πρεσβυτέρων | gen pl masc) of the people, armed with swords and clubs.
Then the ruling priests and the elders (presbyteroi | πρεσβύτεροι | nom pl masc) of the people gathered in the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
And when he had entered the temple, the ruling priests and the elders (presbyteroi | πρεσβύτεροι | nom pl masc) of the people approached him while he was teaching and said, “By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?”

“Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders (presbyterōn | πρεσβυτέρων | gen pl masc)? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”
Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you through prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the body of elders (presbyteriou | πρεσβυτερίου | gen sg neut).
as also the high priest and the whole council of elders (presbyterion | πρεσβυτέριον | nom sg neut) can bear me witness. From them I received letters to the brothers, and I went toward Damascus to take those also who were there and bring them in bonds to Jerusalem to be punished.
