## Matthew 27:65-66 in Context (Verses 62–66 KJV)
 
 [62 ](/kjv/matthew/27/62) ¶ Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
 
 [63 ](/kjv/matthew/27/63) Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
 
 [64 ](/kjv/matthew/27/64) 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.
 
 [65 ](/kjv/matthew/27/65) Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make *it* as sure as ye can.
 
 [66 ](/kjv/matthew/27/66) So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
 
[Matthew 26](/kjv/matthew/26) [Matthew 28](/kjv/matthew/28)
