| Mark 15:43 | Joseph, of Arimathea, a noble counsellor, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. | A noble Decurion.

But some of the Decurions were also Counsellors in towns, as is here signified by the Greek word Bouleutes. (Witham) |
