NET Bible
"So give orders to secure the tomb until the third day. Otherwise his disciples may come and steal his body and say to the people,‘He has been raised from the dead,’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”"
— Matthew 27:64, NET Bible
“Command therefore the sepulchre to be guarded until the third day: lest perhaps his disciples come and steal him away and say to the people: He is risen from the dead. And the last error shall be worse than the first.”
(Now Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there, opposite the tomb.)
The Guard at the Tomb The next day(which is after the day of preparation) the chief priests and the Pharisees assembled before Pilate
and said,“Sir, we remember that while that deceiver was still alive he said,‘After three days I will rise again.’
So give orders to secure the tomb until the third day. Otherwise his disciples may come and steal his body and say to the people,‘He has been raised from the dead,’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”
Pilate said to them,“Take a guard of soldiers. Go and make it as secure as you can.”
So they went with the soldiers of the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone.
