11 While they were going, behold, some of ^athe guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place. 12 And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers 13 and said, “Tell people, ^b‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ 14 And if this comes to ^cthe governor’s ears, we will ^dsatisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” 15 So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story has been spread among the Jews ^eto this day.
