The Role of Religious Leaders This passage serves as a warning against the misuse of religious authority and the importance of humility and discernment in leadership.(41) The chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders.--It would seem as if all, or nearly all, the members of the Sanhedrin--those, at least, who had taken part in the condemnation--had come to feast their eyes with the sight of their Victim's sufferings.Verse 41. - Likewise also. All classes that composed the Sanhedrin were present at the execution, and took part in the reviling; but, unlike the soldiers (Luke 23:36) and the mob, they did not address him personally, either from supreme contempt, or because they stood aloof from the herd, and spake among themselves. Some few authorities of no great weight, after "elders" add "and Pharisees;" but the words are an interpolation, though they are without doubt true in fact. That these leaders should presume thus to revile One whom they knew to be innocent is unspeakably iniquitous. Parallel Commentaries ...
