Context of Matthew 27:63

61And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the sepulchre. 62Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together to Pilate, Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. 64Command therefore that the sepulchre be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say to the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. 65Pilate said to them, Ye have a watch: go, make it as secure as ye can.

Commentaries on Matthew 27:63

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 63Sir, we remember, etc. - While these wicked men are fulfilling their own vicious counsels, they are subserving the great cause of Christianity. Every thing depended on the resurrection of Christ; if it did not appear that he rose from the dead, then the whole system was false, and no atonement was made. It was necessary therefore that the chief priests, etc., should make use of every precaution to prevent an imposture, that the resurrection of Christ…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 63We remember - They had either heard him say this, or, more probably, had understood that this was one of his doctrines. That deceiver - One of the charges against him was that he deceived the people, John 7:12. By this title they still chose to designate him, thinking that his death had fully confirmed the truth of the charges against him.Read the comment
