The Tomb Is Secured And Roman Guards Posted

⁶² Now on the next-day^[a] which is after the Preparation^[b] day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together with Pilate, ⁶³ saying, “Sir, we remembered that that deceiver said while still alive, ‘I am arising after three days’. ⁶⁴ Therefore, give-orders that the burial-place be made-secure until the third day, so that His disciples, having come, might not at any time steal Him and say to the people, ‘He arose from the dead’, and the last deception will be worse than the first”.
