Matthew 27:62-64

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁶² The next day, that is, the day after the day of Preparation [for the Sabbath], the chief priests and the Pharisees assembled before Pilate

⁶³ And said, Sir, we have just remembered how that ^[a]vagabond Imposter said while He was still alive, After three days I will rise again.

⁶⁴ Therefore give an order to have the tomb made secure and safeguarded until the third day, for fear that His disciples will come and steal Him away and tell the people that He has risen from the dead, and the last deception and fraud will be worse than the first.
