Matthew 27:59-66 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

59. And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60. And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher, and departed.

61. And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulcher.

62. Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

63. Saying, Sir, we remember that this deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

64. Command therefore that the sepulcher be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.

65. Pilate said unto them, You have guards: go your way, make it as sure as you can.

66. So they went, and made the sepulcher sure, sealing the stone, and setting a guard.
