Matthew 28:12-15

Then the priests met with the Jewish elders and made a plan. They paid the soldiers a large amount of money. They said to the soldiers, “Tell the people that Jesus’ followers came during the night and stole the body while you were asleep. If the governor hears about this, we will satisfy him and save you from trouble.” So the soldiers kept the money and obeyed the priests. And that story is still spread among the Jews even today.
