And the question was what was their motivation to lie. Why would the knowingly want to bury the "truth" so much that they were even paying people to stay quiet?
I did read it, but chose to make a different point. However, to answer with the OP, Matthew never claims the Jewish authorities knew/believed Jesus had been resurrected. They were proceeding with a strategy to kill off reports that something odd had happened.
