63 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulcher.
64 Now the next day that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

66 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch; go your way, make it as sure as ye can.
67 So they went and made the sepulcher sure, sealing the stone and setting a watch.
Matthew 28 Intro: The resurrection of Christ -- He sends forth the disciples.
1 In the end of the Sabbath day, as it began to dawn towards the first day of the week, early in the morning, came Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary to see the sepulcher.
2 And behold, there had been a great earthquake; for two angels of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
3 And their countenance was like lightning, and their raiment white as snow; and for fear of them the keepers did shake, and became as though they were dead.
4 And the angels answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye; for we know that ye seek Jesus who was crucified.
5 He is not here; for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay; and go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him; lo, I have told you.
