I would like to discuss the 1st century Jewish Rulers, Priesthood and their synagogue and sanhedrin mentioned in in the NT, and especially the Olivet Discourse.
We read in Matthew 23 how Jesus railed against the Scribes and Pharisees and it is carried over in to Matthew 24.
Here are the verses:
Matthew 23:34
1Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His Disciples, 2 saying, "Upon the the Seat <2515> of Moses are seated the Scribes and Pharisees.
6 “Yet They are being fond the first reclining place in the dinners/feasts and the first seats in the Synagogues.
love the best places at feasts, the best seats in the Synagogues,
[Mark 12:39-40]
34 Because of this, behold!
I am commissioning toward ye Prophets and Wisemen and Scribes.
From out of them ye shall be killing<615> and shall be crucifying<4717>
and out of them ye shall be scourging<3146> in your Synagogues<4864>, and persecuting<1377> from city to city.
Mark 13:9
Yet be ye looking out yeselves!
For they shall be delivering ye up into Sanhedrins<4892> and into Synagogues<4864>, and ye shall be being lashed<1194>.
And upon Governors and Kings to be standing on account of Me, into a witness/testimony to them.
Luke 21:12
Yet before all of these, they shall be laying the hands upon ye and shall be persecuting<1377> ye,
delivering ye up into the Synagogues and Jails,
Luke only mentions the Sanhedrine 1 time in his Gospel:
Luk 22:66 And as it became day, was gathered<4863> the Elders of the people, besides chief priests and Scribes and the led Him away into their Sanhedrin<4892> saying
=====================
Matthew 26:59
Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin<4892> were seeking false testimony against Jesus, that they might put Him to death,
Mark 14:55
Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin<4892> were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they found none.
Luke 22:2
2 And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to put Him to death, for they feared the people.
66 When a day came, the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes. And they led Him away to their Sanhedrin<4892>

Sanhedrin trial of Jesus - Wikipedia
In the New Testament, the Sanhedrin trial of Jesus refers to the trial of Jesus before the Sanhedrin (a Jewish judicial body) following his arrest in Jerusalem and prior to his dispensation by Pontius Pilate. It is an event reported by all four canonical gospels of the New Testament, although John's Gospel does not explicitly mention a Sanhedrin trial in this context.[1]
Jesus is generally quiet, does not mount a defense, and rarely responds to the accusations, but is condemned by the Jewish authorities for various accusations, violating the Sabbath law(by healing on the Sabbath), threatening to destroy the Jewish Temple, sorcery, exorcising people by the power of demons and claiming to be both the Messiah and the Son of God. The Jewish leaders then take Jesus to Pontius Pilate, the governor of Roman Judaea, and ask that he be tried for claiming to be the King of the Jews.
The trial as depicted in the Synoptic Gospels is temporally placed informally on Thursday night and then again formally on Friday morning. Although some believe this informally happened Wednesday night and then again finally on Thursday morning, with him eventually being taken off the cross Thursday night, being the beginning of the Jews 'day of preparation', according to account in the Gospel of John......................................

Sanhedrin - Wikipedia
There were two classes of rabbinical courts called Sanhedrin, the Great Sanhedrin and the Lesser Sanhedrin. A lesser Sanhedrin of 23 judges was appointed to each city, but there was to be only one Great Sanhedrin of 71 judges, which among other roles acted as the Supreme Court, taking appeals from cases decided by lesser courts. In general usage, "The Sanhedrin" without qualifier normally refers to the Great Sanhedrin, which was composed of the Nasi, who functioned as head or representing president, and was a member of the court; the Av Beit Din or chief of the court, who was second to the nasi; and sixty-nine general members (Mufla).
In the Second Temple period, the Great Sanhedrin met in the Temple in Jerusalem, in a building called the Hall of Hewn Stones. The Great Sanhedrin convened every day except festivals and the sabbath day (Shabbat).
After the destruction of the Second Temple and the failure of the Bar Kokhba Revolt, the Great Sanhedrin moved to Galilee, which became part of the Roman province of Syria Palaestina. In this period the Sanhedrin was sometimes referred as the Galilean Patriarchate or Patriarchate of Palaestina, being the governing legal body of Galilean Jewry. In the late 200s, to avoid persecution, the name "Sanhedrin" was dropped and its decisions were issued under the name of Beit HaMidrash (house of learning). The last universally binding decision of the Great Sanhedrin appeared in 358 CE, when the Hebrew Calendar was abandoned. The Great Sanhedrin was finally disbanded in 425 CE after continued persecution by the Eastern Roman Empire.
Over the centuries, there have been attempts to revive the institution, such as the Grand Sanhedrin convened by Napoleon Bonaparte, and modern attempts in Israel.

Sanhedrin Invites 70 Nations to Hanukkah Dedication of Altar for the Third Temple
The nascent Sanhedrin released a declaration to the 70 nations for Hanukkah to be read at a ceremony in Jerusalem on the last day of the holiday. The ceremony will include the consecration of a stone altar prepared for use in the Third Temple. The declaration is intended as an invitation to the nations to participate in the Temple and to receive its blessings.
