28:11 - [In Context ]The women went to tell the followers. At the same time, some of the soldiers that were guarding the tomb F443 went into the city. They went to tell the leading priests everything that happened.
28:12 - [In Context ]Then the priests met with the older Jewish leaders and made a plan. They paid the soldiers much money {to tell a lie}.
28:13 - [In Context ]They said to the soldiers, "Tell the people that Jesus' followers came during the night and stole the body while you were sleeping.
28:14 - [In Context ]If the governor hears about this, we will satisfy him and save you from trouble."
