Matthew 27:59–66
Joseph took Jesus body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and placed it in his own new tomb. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away.
The chief priests and Pharisees went to Pilate and said. “Sir, we remember while he was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After 3 days I will rise again.’ 64 So order for the tomb to be made secure until the 3rd day. Or, his disciples may come and steal the body and say he has been raised from the dead. “Take a guard,” Pilate said. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.” So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting guards.
Isaiah 53:9
He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.
