They Were Paid to Lie… The Bribe Given to the Guards at Jesus’ Tomb

Did you know the guards at Jesus’ tomb were paid to lie? In this powerful Bible story, we uncover what happened to the Roman guards who were assigned to watch the tomb of Jesus after His crucifixion. The tomb was sealed. The stone was guarded. The authorities wanted to make sure nothing could happen. But on the morning of the resurrection, everything changed. According to Matthew 27–28, a great earthquake shook the place, an angel of the Lord came down, the stone was rolled away, and the guards became like dead men. Later, some of those guards went into the city and reported what had happened to the chief priests. And then came the cover-up. The religious leaders gave the soldiers a large sum of money and told them to say that Jesus’ disciples came at night and stole His body while they were sleeping. But there was one major problem with that story… If the guards were sleeping, how could they know who took the body?
