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

⁶² And on the morrow which, indeed, is the day after the Preparation, the high priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate, ⁶³ saying, Sir, we were reminded that that Deceiver said, while yet living, 'After three days I rise again;' ⁶⁴ order, therefore, that the sepulchre be made secure until the third day, lest haply His disciples, coming, should steal Him away, and say to the people, 'He was raised from the dead;' and the last error will be worse than the first."

⁶⁵ And Pilate said to them, "Ye have a guard; go your way, secure it, as ye know how." ⁶⁶ And, going, they made the sepulchre secure, sealing the stone, in connection with the guard.
