Read in context

Matthew 27:60–64 · Berean Standard Bible

60 and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut into the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance to the tomb and went away.

61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.

62 The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and Pharisees assembled before Pilate.

63 “Sir,” they said, “we remember that while He was alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

64 So give the order that the tomb be secured until the third day. Otherwise, His disciples may come and steal Him away and tell the people He has risen from the dead. And this last deception would be worse than the first.”
