Matthew 28:11-15

Good News Translation GNT

11 While the women went on their way, some of the soldiers guarding the tomb went back to the city and told the chief priests everything that had happened.

12 The chief priests met with the elders and made their plan; they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers

13 and said, "You are to say that his disciples came during the night and stole his body while you were asleep.

14 And if the Governor should hear of this, we will convince him that you are innocent, and you will have nothing to worry about."

15 The guards took the money and did what they were told to do. And so that is the report spread around by the Jews to this very day.

New International Version NIV

11 While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.

12 When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money,

13 telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’

14 If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”

15 So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.
