Matthew 27:63-65

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁶³ and said, “Sir, we remember that when He was still alive that deceiver said, ‘^(A)After three days I am to rise again.’ ⁶⁴ Therefore, give orders for the grave to be made secure until the third day, otherwise His disciples may come and steal Him away and say to the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.” ⁶⁵ Pilate said to them, “You have a ^(B)guard; go, make it as secure as you know how.”
