Matthew:27:62-66

*
On the morrow ,
being the day of preparation ,
the chief priests and the Pharisees repaired in a body to Pilate ,
*
and said ,
My lord ,
we remember that this impostor ,
when alive ,
said ,
*
Command ,
therefore ,
that the sepulcher be guarded till the third day ,
lest his disciples come and steal him ,
and say to the people ,
He is raised from the dead ;
for this last imposture would prove worse than the first .
*
Pilate answered ,
You have a guard ;
make the sepulcher as secure as you can .
*
Accordingly they went and secured it ,
sealing the stone ,
and posting guards .
