Matthew 27:65

New English Translation

⁶⁵Pilate said to them, “Take^[a] a guard of soldiers. Go and make it as secure as you can.”

Matthew 27:65

New International Version

⁶⁵“Take a guard,”^(A) Pilate answered. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”

⁶⁶So^[a] they went with the soldiers^[b] of the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone.

Matthew 27:66 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of Pilate’s order.
Matthew 27:66 tn Grk “with the guard.” The words “soldiers of the” have been supplied in the translation to prevent “guard” from being misunderstood as a single individual.

⁶⁶So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal^(A) on the stone^(B) and posting the guard.^(C)
