Wiki:
There were two classes of Rabbinite Jewish courts which were called Sanhedrin, the Great Sanhedrin and the Lesser Sanhedrin. A lesser Sanhedrin of 23 judges was appointed to sit as a tribunal in each city, but there was only supposed to be one Great Sanhedrin of 71 judges, which among other roles acted as the Supreme Court ...
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).

NIV Matthew 26:59
The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin [G4892] were looking for false evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death.
The chief priests were associated with the great Sanhedrin.

Matthew 10:17
Be on your guard; you will be handed over to the local councils [G4892] and be flogged in the synagogues.
The lesser Sanhedrin was with a local synagogue.
