43Those men therefore took counsel one with another to 44go and report these things unto Pilate. And while they yet thought thereabout, again the heavens were opened and a 45man descended and entered into the tomb. And they that were with the centurion (or the centurion and they that were with him) when they saw that, hasted to go by night unte Pilate and left the sepulchre whereon they were keeping watch, and told all that they had seen, and were in great agony, saying: Of a truth he was the son of God. 46Pilate answered and said: I am clear from the blood of 47the son of God, but thus it seemed good unto you. Then all they came and besought him and exhorted him to charge the centurion and the soldiers to tell nothing of that they had 48seen: For, said they, it is expedient for us to incur the greatest sin before God, rather than to (and not to) fall into 49the hands of the people of the Jews and to be stoned. Pilate therefore charged the centurion and the soldiers that they should say nothing.
