CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² When they had assembled with the elders and taking counsel, they gave sufficient silver coins to the soldiers, ¹³ saying, "Tell them, 'His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we were sleeping.' ¹⁴ "And if this reaches the governor's ears, we will influence him and make you secure." ¹⁵ So they took the silver and did as they were instructed. And this saying has been widely spread among the Jews until this day.
