Matthew 27:62-66 - The Tomb Is Sealed And Guarded
62 On the next day, that is, the day after the Preparation Day, the high priests and Pharisees went in a body to Pilate 63 and said, "Sir, we remember that when this impostor was alive he said, 'After three days I will rise again!' 64 Give orders, therefore, to have the tomb closely guarded till the third day, so that his disciples cannot come and steal him, and then tell the people that he is risen from the dead, and that delusion be worse than the other was."
65 Pilate said to them, "Take a guard of soldiers, and go and make it as secure as you can." 66 And they went and set the guard and put a seal on the stone.
