Matthew 28:11-15 (New International Version)
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, “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.
Corruption is an age old problem yet to be addressed as you should. Money becomes the substitute for covering wrongdoings. Qoute: "When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ This they did to cover both the parties involved, one that benefits both parties, they say.It is intended to please the governor and keep the soldiers out of trouble for negligence of duty. Actually, that wasn't the truth of that matter. An evil plan had to be devised before spreading that lie because lie has to appear like truth. Lots of money was necessary to make lie to appear like truth.
Look who is devising an evil plan and who gave the soldiers the bribe. Qoute:"When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money....rings a bell? All in the name of their god, the chief priests devised an evil plan to hide the truth and spread a lie and this they did with bribes to the soldiers.They zipped the soldiers' mouth with bribes.How 'clever' in their own eyes? but not so 'clever' in understanding that there is a God of truth watching the ways of man always. He will reward you accordingly.If you sow to your sinful nature,you will reap destruction, no matter who you claim you are!( To be continued....)
