Quote:When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.
I mean they seem very determined that they're even ready to pay large sums of money to keep the "lie" afloat.
Why don't Jews want people to be saved and happy?
Got to remember two things. alot of jews made up the first century church, these where common every day people. The only people/jew who had authority to lie where those in power. Then ask your question with this understanding. why would someone lie about someone who threatens their whole way of life and livelihood?
