Matthew 27:62-64 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

          62The 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.’
          64So 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.”
