Priests bribe Guards to spread Rumor

387	PRIESTS BRIBE GUARDS
Matt 28		Mark	Luke
11	While they were going,
	behold, some of the guard went into the city
	and told the chief priests all that had taken place.
12	And when they had assembled with the elders
	and taken counsel,
	they gave a sum of money to the soldiers
13	and said, "Tell people,
	`His disciples came by night
	and stole him away while we were asleep.'
14	And if this comes to the governor's ears,
	we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble."
15	So they took the money and did as they were directed;
	and this story has been spread among the Jews
	to this day.
