27 ⁶² Next day, the morning after that Friday, the chief priests and the Pharisees came in a body to Pilate. 27 ⁶³ 'Your Excellency,' they said, 'we recall how that impostor said while he was still alive, "I am to be raised after three days." 27 ⁶⁴ So 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.' 27 ⁶⁵ 'You may have your guard,' said Pilate; 'go and make it secure as best you can.' 27 ⁶⁶ So they went and made the grave secure; they sealed the stone, and left the guard in charge.
