Then said Jesus, "This night all of you will stumble and fail in your fidelity to me; for it is written, 'I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered in all directions.'

"In solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that this very night, before the cock crows, you will three times disown me."

So give orders for the sepulchre to be securely guarded till the third day, for fear his disciples should come by night and steal the body, and then tell the people that he has come back to life; and so the last imposture will be more serious than the first."

telling them to say, "His disciples came during the night and stole his body while we were asleep."
