Matthew 27:59-66 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

59. And having taken the body, Yosĕph wrapped it in clean linen,

60. and laid it in his new tomb which he had hewn out of the rock. And he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and went away.

61. And Miryam from Mag̅dala was there, and the other Miryam, sitting opposite the tomb.

62. On the next day, which was after the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees gathered together to Pilate,

63. saying, “Master, we remember, while He was still alive, how that deceiver said, ‘After three days I am raised.’

64. “Command, then, that the tomb be safeguarded until the third day, lest His taught ones come by night and steal Him away, and should say to the people, ‘He was raised from the dead.’ And the last deception shall be worse than the first.”

65. So Pilate said to them, “You have a watch, go, safeguard it as you know how.”

66. And they went and safeguarded the tomb, sealing the stone and setting the watch.
