Matthew 27:62-64

Revised Geneva Translation

⁶² Now the next day (which followed the Preparation) the chief priests and Pharisees came to Pilate,

⁶³ and said, “Sir, we remember that that Deceiver said while he was still alive, ‘Within three days I will rise.’

⁶⁴ “Command, therefore, that the sepulcher be made secure until the third day, or else his disciples may come by night and steal Him away, and say to the people, ‘He is risen from the dead!’ So the last deception shall be worse than the first.”
