Next day ,
that is ,
after the day of Preparation ,
the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate
*
and said , "
Sir ,
we remember how that impostor said ,
while he was still alive , `
After three days I will rise again .'
*
Therefore order the sepulchre to be made secure until the third day ,
lest his disciples go and steal him away ,
and tell the people , `
He has risen from the dead ,'
and the last fraud will be worse than the first ."
*
Pilate said to them , "
You have a guard of soldiers ;
go ,
make it as secure as you can ."
*
So they went and made the sepulchre secure by sealing the stone and setting a guard .
