The guards are paid to lie

Mat 28:11–15

28:11 The guards are paid to lie

11After they’d left, some of the guards from the tomb went into the city and told the chief priests everything that had happened, 12so they met together with the elders and after some discussion, they gave a generous amount to the soldiers 13and told them, “Tell everyone that his followers came in the dark and stole his body when you had fallen asleep. 14If the governor hears about it, we’ll butter him up so that you won’t need to be afraid of getting punished.”

15So they took the money and did what they had been asked.
