Matthew 27:55 Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.
Matthew 27:56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
Matthew 27:57 When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple came.
Matthew 27:58 This man went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.
Matthew 27:59 Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
Matthew 27:60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock, and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb and departed.

Matthew 27:62 Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,
Matthew 27:63 saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’
Matthew 27:64 Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”
Matthew 27:65 Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”
Matthew 27:66 So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
