Matthew 27:63 (NLT) They told him, "Sir, we remember what that deceiver once said while he was still alive: 'After three days I will be raised from the .'
Matthew 27:64 (NLT) So we request that you seal the tomb until the third day. This will prevent his disciples from coming and stealing his body and then telling everyone he came back to life! If that happens, we'll be worse off than we were at first."
Matthew 27:65‑66 (NLT) Pilate replied, "Take guards and secure it the best you can." [66] So they sealed the tomb and posted guards to protect it.

Mark 10:27 (NLT) Jesus looked at them intently and said, "Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God."
Matthew 27:57‑58 (NLT) As evening approached, Joseph, a rich man from Arimathea who was one of Jesus' followers, [58] went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. And Pilate issued an order to release it to him.
Matthew 27:59‑60 (NLT) Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a long linen cloth. [60] He placed it in his own new tomb, which had been carved out of the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance as he left.
Matthew 28:1 (NLT) Early on Sunday morning, as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to see the tomb.

Matthew 28:7 (NLT)
And now, go quickly and tell his disciples he has been raised from the , and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember, I have told you."
