Now the next day that followed the day of the preparation, the chiefe Priests and Pharisees came together vnto Pilate,

Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiuer said, while he was yet aliue, After three daies I wil rise againe.

Command therfore that the sepulchre be made sure, vntill the third day, lest his disciples come by night, & steale him away, and say vnto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last errour shalbe worse then the first.

Pilate said vnto them, Yee haue a watch, goe your way, make it as sure as you can.

So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
