Worrell⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² And, having gathered together with the elders, and having taken counsel, they gave a large sum of silver to the soldiers, ¹³ saying, "Say ye that His disciples, coming by night, stole Him, while we were sleeping. ¹⁴ And, if this be heard by the governor, we will persuade him, and make you devoid of care," ¹⁵ And they, taking the silver, did as they were instructed.
