The Chief Priests and Pharisees Secure Jesus’ Tomb

⁶² The next day, which was the day of worship, the chief priests and Pharisees gathered together and went to Pilate. ⁶³ They said, “Sir, we remember how that deceiver said while he was still alive, ‘After three days I will be brought back to life.’ ⁶⁴ Therefore, give the order to make the tomb secure until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may steal him and say to the people, ‘He has been brought back to life.’ Then the last deception will be worse than the first.”
