Matthew 28:11-15

========================

11While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.

12When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money,

13telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’

14If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”

15So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.
