Matthew 27:62-64

Modern English Version

The Guard at the Tomb

⁶² The next day, following the Day of Preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees gathered before Pilate, ⁶³ saying, “Sir, we remember that deceiver saying while He was still alive, ‘After three days I will rise.’ ⁶⁴ Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal Him away, and tell the people, ‘He has risen from the dead.’ The last deception will be worse than the first.”
