Uriel the Sanhedrist
Not to be confused with Uriah the Sanhedrist.
Pharisee from Giscala, a rabbinic training center in northern Palestine housing the tombWater of the wise Hillel. He is among those who stone the apostolic group, wounding Jesus in the hand with a wound open to the bone. His condemnation is foretold with the sign of Jonah[1], as are those of Sadoc the Scribe, Simon the Pharisee, Caiphas (Joseph), the High Priest and Annas.
He is found in the delegation of sanhedrists who come to mock the Family of Bethany at the death of Lazarus.[2]
