The next day, which was the day after
Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate.
They said, “Sir, we remember that while
that deceiver was still alive he said, ‘After three days I will arise.’
Therefore, order the grave to be sealed
until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may come and steal the body and
tell the people, ‘He’s been raised from the dead.’ This last deception will be
worse than the first.”
Pilate replied, “You have
soldiers for guard duty. Go and make it as secure as you know how.”
Then they went and secured the tomb by
sealing the stone and posting the guard.
And Jesus’ disciples rested on the Sabbath
according to the commandment.
