⁶² Now on the next day, that is, the day which is after ^(A)the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together with Pilate, ⁶³ and they said, “Sir, we remember that when that deceiver was still alive, He said, ‘^(B)After three days I am rising.’ ⁶⁴ Therefore, give orders for the tomb to be made secure until the third day; otherwise, His disciples may come and steal Him, and say to the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.” ⁶⁵ Pilate said to them, “You have a ^(C)guard; go, make it as secure as you know how.” ⁶⁶ And they went and made the tomb secure with ^(D)the guard, ^(E)sealing ^(F)the stone.
