In the New Testament, it often pertains to the formal gatherings of Jewish leaders or authorities, such as the Sanhedrin, who met to discuss and decide on religious and legal matters. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, "sumboulion" is frequently associated with the Jewish Sanhedrin, the highest religious court in Jerusalem.

The Sanhedrin was responsible for interpreting Jewish law and had authority over religious matters, although its power was limited by Roman oversight.
