³ And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away ^(A)the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?”

⁴⁶ And Joseph^[a] bought ^(A)a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud and ^(B)laid him in a tomb ^(C)that had been cut out of the rock. And he rolled ^(D)a stone against the entrance of the tomb. ^47 (E)Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.

⁶⁰ and ^(A)laid it in his own new tomb, ^(B)which he had cut in the rock. And he rolled ^(C)a great stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away. ⁶¹ Mary Magdalene and ^(D)the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.

The Guard at the Tomb

⁶² The next day, that is, after the day of ^(E)Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate ⁶³ and said, “Sir, we remember how ^(F)that impostor said, while he was still alive, ^(G)‘After three days I will rise.’ ⁶⁴ Therefore order the tomb to be made secure until the third day, ^(H)lest his disciples go and steal him away and tell the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last fraud will be worse than the first.” ⁶⁵ Pilate said to them, “You have ^(I)a guard^[a] of soldiers. Go, make it as secure as you can.” ⁶⁶ So they went and made the tomb secure by ^(J)sealing the stone and setting a guard.
