Where did the high priest and those who were with him arrive?

Acts 5:21 (ESV)

21 And when they heard this, they entered the temple at daybreak and began to teach.Now when the high priest came, and those who were with him, they called together the council, all the senate of the people of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

The meeting of the Sanhedrin would have taken place in the council hall which was to the west of the temple complex. Solomon’s Colonnade was to the east whilst the location of the public jail is unknown.1
