Matthew 28:12-15

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.
