| Saturday in Holy Week Matthew 27:62-66 The Guard at the Tomb The next day, that is, after the day of Preparation, the chief priests and the Phar'i.sees gathered before Pilate and said, "Sir, we remember what that impostor said while he was still alive, 'After three days I will rise again.' Therefore command the tomb to be made secure until the third day; otherwise his disciples may go and steal him away, and tell the people, 'He has been raised from the dead,' and the last deception would be worse than the first." Pilate said to them, "You have a guardg of soldiers; go, make it as secure as you can."h So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone. gOr Take a guard Luke 23:55-56 The women who had come with him from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how his body was laid. Then they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. On the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
