While the women were gone, some of the soldiers guarding the tomb guards back into the city, and to report to the chief priests all that had happened.
The chief priests had talks with Jewish leaders, and gave large sums of money to the military guard,
and said, "You have to say that His disciples came at night, and stole his body when you're sleeping.
And if the governor heard these things, we will persuade him that you do not have any trouble. "
Then soldiers took the money, and did as they were told. Therefore, the story was reported among the Jews until this day.
