Lexham English Bible LEB

11 And [while] they were going, behold, some of the guard of soldiers went into the city [and] reported to the chief priests everything that had happened.

12 And [after they] had assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a rather large sum of money to the soldiers,

13 telling [them], "Say 'His disciples came during the night [and] stole him [while] we were sleeping.'

14 And if this [matter] is heard before the governor, we will satisfy him and {keep you out of trouble}."

15 So they took the money [and] did as they were told, and spread abroad this report among the Jews until this very day.

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.
