Matthew 28:11-15

21st Century King James Version

¹¹ Now when they were going, behold, some of the guards came into the city and reported unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

¹² And when they were assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a large sum of money unto the soldiers,

¹³ saying, “Say ye, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept.’

¹⁴ And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him and secure you.”

¹⁵ So they took the money, and did as they were taught; and this account is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
