'Guarding' in the Bible

Then they sat down there and continued guarding him.

When the centurion and those guarding Jesus with him saw the earthquake and the other things that were taking place, they were terrified and said, "This man certainly was the Son of God!"

Even when the blood of your witness Stephen was being shed, I was standing there, approving it and guarding the coats of those who were killing him.'

When we came into Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself with the soldier who was guarding him.
