Matthew 27:62-64

Complete Jewish Bible

⁶² Next day, after the preparation, the head cohanim and the P’rushim went together to Pilate ⁶³ and said, “Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was still alive, ‘After three days I will be raised.’ ⁶⁴ Therefore, order that the grave be made secure till the third day; otherwise the talmidim may come, steal him away and say to the people, ‘He was raised from the dead’; and the last deception will be worse than the first.”
