¹² And having assembled with the elders, and having taken counsel, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,

¹³ saying, Say that his disciples coming by night stole him [while] we [were] sleeping.

¹⁴ And if this should come to the hearing of the governor, *we* will persuade him, and save *you* from all anxiety.
