The Two Mary's Talk To the Guard

The guard: ”Are you going to tell on me? “

Mary Madeline: “Did we remove Jesus’ body?” 

The guard: "If I say nothing would not say that I left the stone unmanned for about ten minutes? The earthquake was severe.” 

Mary, Jesus’ mum: “OK, we won’t talk.” 

Mary Madeline: “Not really your fault. You couldn’t help it, son.” 

The guard: “My cousin, my friend can walk ‘cos of your son, so it’s ok, He’s ok.” 

So they parted, and never met again.
