Since the advice of men skilled in the law was needed in the examination in the causes and the solution of the difficult questions, they were enrolled in the Sanhedrin; and are mentioned in connection with the priests and elders of the people. See a Bible Dictionary for more information on the scribes.
  3. a religious teacher: so instructed that from his learning and ability to teach advantage may redound to the kingdom of heaven
