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

⁶² And on the morrow that is after the preparation, were gathered together the chief priests, and the Pharisees, unto Pilate, ⁶³ saying, 'Sir, we have remembered that that deceiver said while yet living, After three days I do rise; ⁶⁴ command, then, the sepulchre to be made secure till the third day, lest his disciples, having come by night, may steal him away, and may say to the people, He rose from the dead, and the last deceit shall be worse than the first.'

⁶⁵ And Pilate said to them, 'Ye have a watch, go away, make secure -- as ye have known;' ⁶⁶ and they, having gone, did make the sepulchre secure, having sealed the stone, together with the watch.
