Matthew 28:12-14

International Children’s Bible

¹² Then the priests met with the Jewish elders and made a plan. They paid the soldiers a large amount of money. ¹³ They said to the soldiers, “Tell the people that Jesus’ followers came during the night and stole the body while you were asleep. ¹⁴ If the governor hears about this, we will satisfy him and save you from trouble.”
