JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶² So on the arrival of the next day, which is after the preparation [note: the preparation is from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on the day before a sabbath], the chief (ranking) priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate, ⁶³ as a group then saying, "Lord (or: Sir; Excellency), we are reminded that that straying (or: wandering; vagabond) deceiver said – while yet living, 'After three days I proceed being progressively aroused and raised up.' ⁶⁴ "Therefore, command at once to have the grave made secure until the third day, lest at some time his disciples, upon coming, might steal him and then could (or: might) say to the people, 'He was aroused and raised up away from the dead ones,' and the last deception will be worse than the first."
