“But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,”
So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin while they conferred together. — the apostles are ordered out (lexō, command, direct, order) so the council can deliberate (sullaleo, talk together, confer, discuss) without the apostles' and witnesses' presence. The order shows the council's power to control proceedings; the expulsion is an attempt to exclude the apostles from the deliberative process.
