MATTHEW 27:64 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.”
Therefore order the tomb to be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples go and steal him away and tell the people, he has been raised from the dead. The conspiracy to prevent the resurrection's proclamation: the secure tomb is the chief priests' strategy to prevent the disciples from stealing the body and claiming a resurrection. The strategy will fail — not because the disciples steal the body but because Jesus rises.
