Bible verse
“You have a guard,” Pilate said. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”
Matthew 27:65 · BSB
The verses around it, from Matthew 27.
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.”
65 “You have a guard,” Pilate said. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.”
66 So they went and secured the tomb by sealing the stone and posting the guard.
