The guards are bribed to lie

Matthew 28:11-15
The Guards' report was instructed to 'His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep'. They took the money. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.
The guards are bribed to lie, to say the tomb is empty because Jesus' followers tole the body while they slept.
The penalty for falling asleep on duty was death, but perhaps Pilate too could be squared with a bribe.
Why?
Bribe may obscure people's heart and lie to everything.
Jesus has risen from the dead and showed to his disciples are the truth.
How?
Trust which one is depends on our heart, trust in Jesus is the blessing. God gives us the choice.
