Who are the brothers?

Acts 12:17 (ESV)

17 But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, “Tell these things to James and to the brothers.” Then he departed and went to another place.

The brothers are either other believers in general, or the elders/leaders of the Jerusalem church (see Acts 6:5–6; Acts 11:30).1
