Easter Week in Real Time - Saturday

Join us each day this week as follow the four gospel accounts of the week leading up to Easter Sunday.

Saturday
The chief priests and Pharisees place guards at the tomb with Pilate’s permission
Matt. 27:62–66

THE CLOSELY GUARDED TOMB
62 The next day, which followed the preparation day, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate 63 and said, “Sir, we remember that while this deceiver was still alive he said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’ 64 So give orders that the tomb be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may come, steal him, and tell the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead,’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”

65 “Take guards,” Pilate told them. “Go and make it as secure as you know how.” 66 They went and secured the tomb by setting a seal on the stone and placing the guards. -- Matthew 27:62-66 (CSB)
