Matthew 28:11-15 - The Guards Report The Body Stolen
11 While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and told the high priests everything that had happened. 12 So they met with the elders and agreed on a plan to give the soldiers a large amount of money. 13 They said, "Say that Jesus' disciples came at night and stole him while you were sleeping. 14 If this is reported to the governor, we'll personally persuade him to keep you out of trouble." 15 So the soldiers took the money, did as they were instructed, and this story has been spread among the Jews to this day.
