Matthew 27:62-66 - The Tomb Is Sealed And Guarded

⁶² On the morrow, which was the day after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate, ⁶³ and said: Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will arise. ⁶⁴ Therefore, command that the sepulcher be made safe till the third day, lest his disciples come and steal him away, and say to the people, He has risen from the dead; and the last error will be worse than the first.

⁶⁵ Pilate said to them: You have a guard; go, make it as safe as you know how. ⁶⁶ And they went and made the sepulcher safe, by placing a seal upon the stone, and setting the guard.
