Matthew 27:62-66
The Guard at the Tomb
62The next day, that is, after the day of aPreparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate 63and said, “Sir, we remember how bthat impostor said, while he was still alive, c‘After three days I will rise.’ 64Therefore order the tomb to be made secure until the third day, dlest his disciples go and steal him away and tell the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last fraud will be worse than the first.” 65Pilate said to them, “You have ea guard ▼▼Or Take a guard
of soldiers. Go, make it as secure as you can.” 66So they went and made the tomb secure by gsealing the stone and setting a guard.
