The Guarding of the Tomb…
After
Jesus Died!
Image, Microsoft Word 2003 |
The next day, which
followed the preparation day, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered
before Pilate and said, “Sir, we remember that while this deceiver was still
alive He said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’
“Therefore, give
orders that the tomb be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, His
disciples may come, steal Him, and tell the people, ‘He has been raised from
the dead.’ Then the last deception will be worse than the first.”
“You have a guard of soldiers,” Pilate told them. “Go and make it as secure as you know how.”
Then they went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone and setting the guard.
