When the Soldiers Spoke: Matthew 28:11-15

After the women discovered the empty tomb, some of the guards rushed into the city with startling news. They told the chief priests and elders everything they'd seen. The religious leaders met and offered the soldiers a large sum of money. They instructed them to say, “His disciples came by night and stole him while we slept.” They promised to protect the guards if their story reached the governor. The soldiers accepted the bribe and spread this report. This account has circulated among the Jewish community ever since.
