Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest haply his disciples come and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the 65 dead: and the last error will be worse than the first. Pilate said unto them, [1]Ye have a guard: go your way, [2]make it _as_ sure 66 as ye can. So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, the guard being with them. [Footnote 1: Or, _Take a guard_.] [Footnote 2: Gr. _make it sure, as ye know_.] [Footnote a: Luke (23:54) notes that "the Sabbath drew on" after the burial on Friday afternoon. The Sabbath began at 6 P.M. Then Luke notes that the women rested during the Sabbath (our Friday night and Saturday).] PART XIV THE RESURRECTION, APPEARANCES, AND ASCENSION OF CHRIST _During forty days beginning with Sunday after the death of Christ.

Then he probably left at once for Galilee (Matt. 28:7; Mark 16:7). In the month that followed we cannot fix the exact time of the events that occurred in Galilee, but just at the end of the forty days we find him again in Jerusalem.] § 169.
