11 Now while they were on their way, behold, some of (A)the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened. 12 And when they had assembled with the elders and took counsel together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, 13 and said, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’ 14 And if this is heard before (B)the governor, we will win him over and [a]keep you out of trouble.” 15 And they took the money and did as they had been instructed; and this story was widely (C)spread among the Jews, and is (D)to this day.

The Report of the Guard
11 While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests everything that had happened.(A) 12 After the priests[a] had assembled with the elders, they devised a plan to give a large sum of money to the soldiers, 13 telling them, “You must say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ 14 If this comes to the governor’s ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”(B) 15 So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story is still told among the Judeans to this day.
