Hilary of Poitiers

Catena Aurea by Aquinas (367)

The concealment of the Resurrection, and the false allegation of theft, is purchased by money; because by the honour of this world, which consists in money and desire, Christ's glory is denied.

Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)

Now when they were going,.... Or were gone from the sepulchre: that is, the women, Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, and their companions, when they were going, or gone, and before they could come to the disciples, to inform them of what they had seen and heard, and deliver the message both of the angel, and of Christ, unto them: behold, some of the watch came unto the city: that is, "of Jerusalem".

Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

Thus they who have sold themselves to work wickedness, find that one sin draws on another, and that they have plunged themselves into a wretched necessity of adding iniquity to iniquity, which is part of the curse of Christ's persecutors, Ps. lxix. The result of their debate was, that those soldiers must by all means be bribed off, and hired not to tell tales.

When they were going - Or when they had gone from the tomb. Some of the watch - Some of the guard that had been set around the tomb to keep it safe. Probably the leaders or officers came to give a true account of what had happened. Showed unto the chief priests - To Annas and Caiaphas.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

How could ye imagine that such a tale as ye had to tell would not at once commend itself to your scared employers? Had they doubted this for a moment, would they have ventured to go near them, knowing it was death to a Roman soldier to be proved asleep when on guard? and of course that was the only other explanation of the case.
