'Guard' in the Bible

and sat down there on guard.

As for the Captain and the soldiers who were with Him keeping guard over Jesus, when they witnessed the earthquake and the other occurrences they were filled with terror, and exclaimed, "Assuredly he was God's Son."

"You can have a guard," said Pilate: "go and make all safe, as best you can."

So they went and made the sepulchre secure, sealing the stone besides setting the guard.
