Guards' Report of the Resurrection

Spring A. D. 30

Dawn of First Day (Sunday, "Lord's Day")

Jerusalem

"Watch", "Soldiers".  This event makes my theory that the guards at the tomb were Jews, not Romans neither stronger nor weaker.

Since they reported directly to the chief priest, maybe stronger.

Amazing how those who I tell it to hate it.

 

Matthew

Mat 28:11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

Mat 28:12 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,

Mat 28:13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

Mat 28:14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.

Mat 28:15 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
