Gift from Creator Tells the Good Story 28:12-15

So they gathered a council together to make a plan. They decided to pay the soldiers well to make up a story. “Tell the people that his followers came and stole his body while you were sleeping,” they said. “Do not worry about the governor hearing of this. We will pay him whatever it takes to keep you from trouble.” Normally the People of Iron (Romans) would have put to death any soldiers who would have let someone steal a body they had been ordered to guard. So the soldiers took the money and did as they were told, and even to this day their story has been told far and wide among all the tribes.
