Matthew 28:12-15

Then the priests met with the older Jewish leaders and made a plan. They paid the soldiers a lot of money and said to them, “Tell the people that Jesus’ followers came during the night and stole the body while you were sleeping. If the governor hears about this, we will talk to him and keep you out of trouble.” So the soldiers kept the money and obeyed the priests. And that story is still spread among the Jews even today.
