MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² And having been gathered together with the elders and having taken counsel, they gave a considerable amount of silver to the soldiers, ¹³ saying, Say : when we fell-asleep, his disciples came by night and stole him away. ¹⁴ And if this is heard by the governor, we will be persuading him and will be making you carefree. ¹⁵ So they took the silver and did like they were taught and this speech was broadcasted with the Jews and is continuing till today.
