Matthew 27:63An Understandable Version (2005 edition)and said, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘I will rise [from the dead] after three days.’ See the chapter |
Therefore, give the order to secure the grave site until the third day, so his disciples will not steal his body and then tell the people ‘He has risen from the dead.’ This last deception would be worse than the first one [i.e., the claim that Jesus rose from the dead would be worse than the claim that he was the Messiah].”
