27:64
Waiting
Command therefore that the sepulcher be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say to the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error will be worse than the first.

Pilate said to them, Ye have a watch: go, make it as secure as ye can.
27:66
Waiting
So they went, and having sealed the stone, made the sepulcher secure with a watch.
