13 and instructed them: “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.’

14 If this report reaches the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”

16 Meanwhile, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain Jesus had designated.

17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him, but some doubted.
