The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them, etc.] Though he was with the Jews, the chief priests, Scribes, and elders, in the high priest's palace, being one of that great council; yet he did not agree with them; nor was it his advice and counsel, that they should put Christ to death; he was against it, at least did not consent to it: he was of Arimathea, a city of the Jews; (see Gill on “<402757>Matthew 27:57”). This clause in the Syriac and Persic versions stands in the preceding verse, and follows after the mention of his name and office, and where it seems most natural; who also himself waited for the kingdom of God; (see Gill on “<411543>Mark 15:43”).
