子どもにもわかる説明
Imagine if someone took your favorite toy without telling you where they put it, and then told everyone else that you hid it yourself to avoid getting in trouble. That’s kind of what these people did about Jesus. They gave money to soldiers so they would tell a story to cover up the truth.
歴史的背景
Matthew wrote this account likely around AD 80-90, aimed at Jewish Christians to show how Jesus fulfilled Old Testament prophecies and teachings. This event happened in Jerusalem shortly after Jesus' resurrection.
