Matthew 28:11

Now, while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city, and told unto the chief priests all the things that were come to pass.

THE BIG LIE

Then was the opportunity for the chief priests to have made good their boast that they would believe Christ if he came down from the cross. It was an even more wonderful thing to come up from the grave, but still they did not believe him. No one is so blind as one who will not see. The sequence of events mentioned in this verse is exactly such as should have been mentioned. Not all the guard, but some of them, left their post to report to the chief priests in view of the changed situation.
