Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.

Commentary on Matthew 27:64

Theological / Devotional

The third day. Here (vs. 63, 64), the terms “after three days” and “the third day” are obviously synonymous. See p. 249.

Error. According to them the first “error” or deception, was the idea that Jesus was the Messiah of prophecy (see on ch. 26:63–66). The “last error” would be the claim that He had risen from the dead.
