Matthew 27:57
NASB
Matt 27:57
&
When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.
Matt 27:58
&
This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given {to him.}
Matt 27:59
&
And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
Matt 27:60
&
and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the entrance of the tomb and went away.
Matt 27:61
&
And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the grave.
Matt 27:62
&
Now on the next day, the day after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together with Pilate,
Matt 27:63
&
and said, "Sir, we remember that when He was still alive that deceiver said, `After three days I {am to} rise again.'
Matt 27:64
&
~"Therefore, give orders for the grave to be made secure until the third day, otherwise His disciples may come and steal Him away and say to the people, `He has risen from the dead,' and the last deception will be worse than the first."
Matt 27:65
&
Pilate said to them, "You have a guard; go, make it {as} secure as you know how."
Matt 27:66
&
And they went and made the grave secure, and along with the guard they set a seal on the stone.
