Matteus 28,12

10 Jesus beroliget dem: "Vær ikke redde. Gå og fortell mine brødre at de skal dra til Galilea; der skal de se meg."

11 Mens de var på vei, gikk noen av vaktene inn i byen og rapporterte til overprestene alt som hadde skjedd.

Da overprestene hadde møtt de eldste og lagt en plan, ga de en stor sum penger til soldatene,

13 og instruerte dem: "Dere skal si: 'Hans disipler kom om natten og stjal ham bort mens vi sov.'

14 Hvis dette når guvernørens ører, vil vi berolige ham og holde dere ute av trøbbel."

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.
