The Guards’ Report
28:11 While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests everything that had happened.
28:12 After they had assembled with the elders and formed a plan, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,
28:13 telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came at night and stole his body while we were asleep.’
28:14 If this matter is heard before the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”
28:15 So they took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story is told among the Jews to this day.
