27 New English Bible (New Testament) Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

62Next day, the morning after that Friday, the chief priests and the Pharisees came in a body to Pilate.The Guard on the Tomb Mt.27.62-66 (The Garden)Τῇ δὲ ἐπαύριον, ἡτις ἐστὶν μετὰ τὴν παρασκευήν, συνήχθησαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι πρὸς Πιλᾶτον
63'Your Excellency,' they said, 'we recall how that impostor said while he was still alive, "I am to rise after three days." λέγοντες, Κύριε, ἐμνήσθημεν ὅτι ἐκεῖνος ὁ πλάνος εἶπεν ἐτι ζῶν, Μετὰ τρεῖς ἡμέρας ἐγείρομαι.
64So will you give orders for the grave to be made secure until the third day? Otherwise his disciples may come, steal the body, and then tell the people that he has been raised from the dead; and the final deception will be worse than the first.' κέλευσον οὖν ἀσφαλισθῆναι τὸν τάφον ἑως τῆς τρίτης ἡμέρας, μήποτε ἐλθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ κλέψωσιν αὐτὸν καὶ εἰπωσιν τῷ λαῷ, Ἠγέρθη ἀπὸ τῶν νεκρῶν, καὶ ἐσται ἡ ἐσχάτη πλάνη χείρων τῆς πρώτης.
65'You may have your guard,' said Pilate; 'go and make it secure as best you can.' ἐφη αὐτοῖς ὁ Πιλᾶτος, Ἔχετε κουστωδίαν· ὑπάγετε ἀσφαλίσασθε ὡς οἰδατε.
66So they went and made the grave secure; they sealed the stone, and left the guard in charge.
 οἱ δὲ πορευθέντες ἠσφαλίσαντο τὸν τάφον σφραγίσαντες τὸν λίθον μετὰ τῆς κουστωδίας.
