Matthew 27:62-66
Matthew 27:62
Now on the next day, that is, the day which is after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together with Pilate,
Matthew 27:63
and they said, “Sir, we remember that when that deceiver was still alive, He said, ‘After three days I am rising.’
Matthew 27:64
Therefore, give orders for the tomb to be made secure until the third day; otherwise, His disciples may come and steal Him, and say to the people, ‘He has risen from the dead,’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”
Matthew 27:65
Pilate said to them, “You have a guard; go, make it as secure as you know how.”

And they went and made the tomb secure with the guard, sealing the stone.
