Matthew 27:63-65
Wycliffe Bible
63 and said, Sir, we have mind, that that beguiler said yet living, After three days I shall rise again to life.[a]
64 Therefore command thou, that the sepulchre be kept into the third day; lest his disciples come, and steal him, and say to the people, He hath risen from death; and the last error shall be worse than the former.[b]
65 Pilate said to them, Ye have the keeping; go ye, keep ye as ye know how [go ye, keep ye as ye can].

Matthew 27:63-65
New International Version
63 “Sir,” they said, “we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’(A) 64 So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may come and steal the body(B) and tell the people that he has been raised from the dead. This last deception will be worse than the first.”
65 “Take a guard,”(C) Pilate answered. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”
