Matthew 28:11-15 ▼

11 And while they are going on, behold, certain of the guard having come into the city, reported to the chief priests all the things that happened,

12 and having been gathered together with the elders, having also taken counsel, they gave much money to the soldiers,

13 saying, “Say that His disciples having come by night, stole Him—we being asleep;

14 and if this is heard by the governor, we will persuade him, and you keep free from anxiety.”

15 And they, having received the money, did as they were taught, and this account was spread abroad among Jews until this day.
