Matthew 27:64-66

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶⁴ Therefore command the tomb to be made secure until the third day; otherwise his disciples may go and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead,’ and the last deception would be worse than the first.” ⁶⁵ Pilate said to them, “You have a guard^[a] of soldiers; go, make it as secure as you can.”^{[b] 66} So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone.
