Matthew 28:12-15 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

          12And after the chief priests had met with the elders and formed a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money
          13and instructed them: “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’
          14If this report reaches the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”

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