Matthew 28:11
9 Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” They came to Him, grasped His feet, and worshiped Him.
10 “Do not be afraid,” said Jesus. “Go and tell My brothers to go to Galilee. There they will see Me.”
While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.
12 And after the chief priests had met with the elders and formed a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money
13 and instructed them: “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
