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

62 It was morning, the day after Preparation. The chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together with Pilate. 63 They said: Sir, we remember while he was yet alive, the deceiver said, 'After three days I will rise again.' 64 Command the tomb be secured until the third day. Otherwise his disciples could come and steal him away. They could say to the people. 'He is risen from the dead.' The last deception will be worse than the first.

65 Pilate said to them: You have a guard; make it as secure as you can. 66 So they made the tomb secure. They sealed the stone and placed a guard there.
