What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, saying, What are we to do to these men?" See the difficulty they are in, and how the fear of men again does everything. As in the case of Christ, they were not able (as the saying is) to undo what is done, nor to cast it into the shade, but for all their hindering, the Faith did but gain ground the more; so was it now. "What shall we do?" O the folly! …
Theophylact of Ohrid
Why do they not bring them to Pilate through the priests, but judge them themselves? Because they were ashamed and embarrassed about what had happened before, and they feared that the apostles might accuse them.
Oecumenius
Yet they do not lead the apostles before Pilate as they did Christ, but they themselves judge: first indeed affected by shame and modesty, then fearing for fear that they too be accused by these concerning him.
