Only in Matthew's Gospel does the Sanhedrin seek to explain away the empty tomb. They bribed the guards, who had been placed at the tomb since Friday evening, to say that the disciples had come and taken away the body of Jesus.
We must not think of each of the four evangelists as having private knowledge of the resurrection, separate from what the other evangelists knew. As Archbishop Peter Carnley (The Structure of Resurrection Belief ) writes:
The presence of discrepancies might be a sign of historicity if we had four clearly independent but slightly different versions of the story, if only for the reason that four witnesses are better than one. But, of course, it is now impossible to argue that what we have in the four gospel accounts of the empty tomb are four contemporaneous but independent accounts of the one event. Modern redactional studies of the traditions account for the discrepancies as literary developments at the hand of later redactors of what was originally one report of the empty tomb...
There is no suggestion that the tomb was discovered by different witnesses on four different occasions, so it is in fact impossible to argue that the discrepancies were introduced by different witnesses of the one event; rather, they can be explained as four different redactions for apologetic and kerygmatic reasons of a single story originating from one source.
Scholars now know that the author of Matthew (it was originally anonymous and only attributed to the disciple Matthew later in the second century) relied on Mark's Gospel for most of the material he wrote about the life and mission of Jesus. If the author of Mark knew nothing about the guard placed at the tomb, and he clearly did not, then there was no guard. The Sanhedrin had no expectation that the disciples would take the body and therefore did not place a guard, and to portray them as having panicked when the body was missing was simply Matthew's literary device to indicate to his readers that the Jewish priests secretly believed that Jesus really had risen. The Sanhedrin made no attempt to explain the empty tomb and therefore did not bribe the guard.

Does the center of gravity of a solid body always lie within the body?
No, the center of gravity of a solid body may not always lie within the body. It depends on the distribution of mass within the body. If the mass is distributed symmetrically, then the center of gravity will be located within the body. However, if the mass distribution is asymmetrical, the center of gravity may lie outside of the body.

Can Mormon missionaries lie?
Missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (The "Mormon" church) do have the physical ability to lie, as they are human, but they are not supposed to lie. If their leaders find out they have lied they can be sent home.
Did you know that to lie and to deceive is a sin which is what Jesus did in words and actions thus nullifying all of the claims of Christianity rendering the religion a lie?
Jesus Christ never did things like that. These kind of 'questions' should not be encouraged. These kind of statements, ( not really a question,) are always from persons who have not read the Bible account of Jesus let alone studied and meditated on the Gospels. So to ask this person where/when did Jesus lie and deceive people, is a waste of time. This kind of judgmental prejudice should not be allowed on this site unless it is backed up with evidence. The only lie is in the question that accuses without evidence. This is what the religious leaders did to Jesus when he walked the Earth.
