Matthew 27:62-66 - The Tomb Is Sealed And Guarded
62 Now the next day after the preparation, the chief priests and pharisees went together to Pilate, saying, Sir, we remember that this impostor, 63 when He was alive, said, After three days I will rise again: 64 order therefore the sepulchre to be secured till the third day, least his disciples should come and steal Him away, and tell the people, He is risen from the dead: and so the last error will be worse than the first.
65 But Pilate said to them, Ye have a guard of your own, go and make it as secure as ye will. 66 So they went and made the sepulchre safe, sealing the stone, and setting a guard to watch it.
