For chief priests see on “high-priesthood” in 3.2, for elders see on 7.3.

Captains of the temple, or, ‘officers/commanders/leaders of the temple guard, or, of those who guard the temple.’

Who had come out against him, or, ‘who had come (or, who were) there to attack him, or, to seize/arrest him.’

Have you come out as against a robber …, or, to bring out better the meaning of this rhetorical question, “Do you take me for a bandit, that you have come out…” (New English Bible), ‘have you come as-though to oppose a rioter…’ (Ekari, using a connective with the meaning ‘as though it were but it isn’t’). For robber see on 10.30.
