(Matt. 27:62-66) And the next day, which followed the day of preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees came together to Pilate, saying: Lord, we have remembered that that seducer said, while he was yet alive: After three days I will rise again. 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. Pilate said to them: You have a guard; go, guard it as you know. And they departing made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, with guards.
