I think it is rather interesting question here because we're talking about Jews who are supposed to be following those 10 commandments out of which one says "don't lie" so they will go against holy commandments and therefore against their own God, who is one motherfucking angry monster when Jews disobey him, just to hide that Jesus resurrected - I mean this just doesn't add up.
I mean is "Matthew" here trying to tell us that Jews turned their backs on Yahweh and don't care about him and started working for somebody else?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
