The Resurrection Is a Prison Break

Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, probably Mary the mother of Jesus, come to the tomb on the first day of the week. They are returning to the site where it all began. But as the women are bringing news to the disciples, there's another message being sent to the chief priests by the gods. It's important to consider that the chief priests and the elders have a first hand report of the resurrection and choose to reject it because they know what it means. The exchange of money in order to buy the silence and the lies of the gods is also a reflection upon the character of their message or authority.
