While the women were on their way,
some of the guards went into the city and
reported to the chief priests everything that had
happened. When the chief priests had met with
the elders and devised a plan, they gave the
soldiers a large sum of money, telling them
Chief Priest
You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the
night and stole him away while we were asleep.’
If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy
him and keep you out of trouble.
So the soldiers took the money and did
as they were instructed. And this story has been
widely circulated among the Jews to this very
day.
Then the eleven disciples went to
Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told
them to go. 17 When they saw him, they
worshiped him; but some doubted.
Jesus
All authority in heaven and on earth has been
given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples
of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20
and teaching them to obey everything I have
commanded you. And surely I am with you
always, to the very end of the age.
