It would have been impossible for faith in His resurrection to take root in Jerusalem while His body was still in the tomb where the Sanhedrin could exhume it, put it on public display, and thereby expose the hoax. Instead, the Sanhedrin accused the disciples of stealing the body, apparently in an effort to explain its disappearance (and therefore an empty tomb).
Badala yake, baraza kuu waliwatuhumia wafuasi wa Yesu kuwa waliuiba mwili wake, hii inaonekana ni jitihada katika kueleza kupotea kwa mwil wake (na kwa hivyo na kuacha kaburi tupu).
