Selected verse

Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

62

Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,

63

saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’

64

Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”
