11:30 To whom does the term "elders" apply here?
Here we see for the first time in scripture the term elders. It refers to those to whom God has given charge of the New Testament church (CP 14:23; 20:17-21, 28: 1Ti 5:17; Jas 5:14; 1Pe 5:1-3).
For a detailed study on elders in the New Testament church see comments on Ac 20:17; Eph 4:11-12; 1Ti 3:1-7; 1Pe 5:1-3, and author's study The Church in his book Advanced Studies in the Christian Faith (Volume 1).
